The ease of getting g into the venue and finding our seats was nice, especially since our schedule was tight. Our seats were in the back, but I didn't feel like that too away from the experience. Maybe if I sat toward the front for my first time and had to move back, that'd different. The sound, customes, and music were amazing. The subtitles were appreciated.

Great show. We have enjoyed this performance very much. Several directorial interpretations felt fresh and creative (Spoiler alert!!! Leaving Lensky lying dead on the floor throughout the 3rd Act contemplating the fact that characters' lives go on after the dreadful tragedy ). The fabulous music reminds of the beginnings for later masterpieces composed by Tschaikowsky. The main characters were very passionate and played the emotional side of their story so very deeply, that I heard spectators say that they thought Tatiana died of grief and emotional toll at the end of her performance.

The atmosphere was warm and sophisticated. I truly wasn't sure what to expect but my husband and I found ourselves invested in the storytelling and details of this romance. The teleprompters made it very easy to follow along with the performers and it was really amazing how well they each embodied their character and their songs.
