Rome and Juliet!

Romeo and Juliet!

Wow! So I had the opportunity to attend my second ballet and I jus loved it! Me and Jūratė, my second host mom, went to Romeo and Juliet on 4/20. 

Before Romeo and Juliet we went and saw this collection of dresses. There were two different collections. One from the Victorian Age and another from the Fashion Age, 1920's-1930's. 

The Fashion Age dresses were most interesting to me, because I recently presented a project on the 1920's and how their fashion changes so dramatically and how you can still see some of those changes nowadays. Although my favorite was the Victorian Age, these dresses were just magnificent and ladies during this time period were TINY! Their waist and arms and feet were just so so tiny it looked uncomfortable. Plus their shoes, very narrow and small. I laughed at them because I just know my feet would never have fit into those shoes. NEVER! I have very wide and big feet so I would not have lasted long during the Victorian Age.

After the dress collection we went for salads because we had a little under an hour before the ballet. To bad it takes salads about an hour to be made.... Like seriously how can a salad take around an hour? So instead we just decided we would come back after our ballet to eat the salad. 

The ballet was beautiful but long. It was over 3 hours! But worth every minute of it! The dancers did an amazing job and were beautiful and incredible. We had front row seats and if you ever go to a ballet I recommended front row seats, you see everything and how well built the dancers are. For me it is interesting because next month I will have the opportunity to visit Juliet's balcony while I'm in Verona. 

All in all, this was a beautiful performance and the theater, opera and ballets are something everyone should experience. 

Viso!
