Sarah Miles, there it is. I think it was a beautiful love story. David Lean, the names are there only when someone jogs my memory. I remember thinking Sarah beautiful. It seemed a nice little movie, how could one compare anything to Dr. Zhivago? Julie Christy and Omar Sharif were unforgettable. Such a wonderful film. Believe it or not, I have not seen Lawrence of Arabia. I have missed much.
I am thinking of going to see The Moscow Festival Ballet as so little ballet comes here now. "Cinderella" doesn't thrill me though,as it is clearly geared to children, and the music I am assuming will be canned as tix prices don't reflect a live orchestra. The music will be by Prokofiev, but it does not say what piece.
Olympia, what piece do you think would be used? I know a lot of ballet music, but my classical music education is lacking. I missed out on so much performing art due to my condition, and now this area is depressed. We don't get what we used to performing arts wise like 20 years ago, plus. We have two or three decent venues but the bookings just don't happen. I envy those in big cities, though the tix prices to everything are through the roof. I always wanted to live in NY or go back to live in London as there is just everything to see, just money is needed, LOL. I wish there were more quality film makers willing to risk it, find backing for great dance movies. I was glad they did Black Swan, but not happy with their casting of Portman. I think the last great dance movie was Centre Stage with then baby Ilia Kulik in minor role.
Today, Dirty Dancing was on and I watched again. Loved Patrick Swayze back in the day!
