I just picked up one orchestra pit tickets to the Russian national ballet's performance of Giselle. Never been to a ballet before but thought it would be a fun experience.
Is there anything I should know about going into it? Also they have a wine and whiskey tasting before the show for an extra $25 per person. Would something like that be worth it? --- I am awesome and so are you. Lenny gone but not forgotten. - 12/10/2015 ... Copied to Clipboard!

There's no way we could even venture a guess. Whether the $25 is worth it or not depends on the quality of the wine and whiskey, and/or the amount you're getting. It would also vary by whoever organised it.

It is a thing of culture, to be sure, but also quite tedious. The greatest ballet I bore witness to involved an officer dancing about in tutu. Alas, the strain was too much for his overweight and aged heart, so he collapsed and died. It was a tragic end to a comedic moment.

It would also vary by whoever organised it. That's fair. Unfortunately they don't mention any of that either. So all I know is it is a tasting with appetizers. Valiant_Kaiser posted...

I hope you mean as part of the show. --- I am awesome and so are you. Lenny gone but not forgotten. - 12/10/2015 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ballet isn't nearly as impressive in one viewing, but the consistency the dancers can perform on consecutive nights is magic

No, and I doubt I would want to.

Just the nutcracker a few times for school field trips when I was growing up. No desire to go back as an adult.

Danced ballet for years. Very demanding physically, when I watch, it's to admire the dancers' technique.
As far a concerts, the receptions are a blast, not sure I'd pay to go to one, but great to mingle with the dancers, choreographers, producers, and directors. Usually wine, sparking water, etc. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less ... Copied to Clipboard!
