Ballet from the Bolshoi Theatre at Paris' Opera Garnier...

Gala at the Opera Garnier. I invited my sister yo see the Ballet from the Bolshoi Theatre, which is giving a series of performances here in Paris. And tonight the special Gala is organized by the AROP (Association pour le Rayonnement de l'Opera National de Paris), presenting "Flammes de Paris," a ballet choreographed by Alexei Ratmansky, about the French Revolution.
All Paris was there: men in smoking, women in long dresses and very elegant.
The performance was simply PERFECT. Not a false step, nor a doubting dancer... Virtuosity as I've never seen before. Everyone danced with such grace, coordination and talent, that we were all left breathless.
A special congratulation for Maria Alexandrova, the étoile of the Bolshoi, absolutely marvelous.
And I don't want to forget to mention the splendid set design, costume and lighting...
We went out to the beautiful Parisian night, full of stars and crescent moon, with the sense of peace and fulfillment such artistic expression produce...
As you can see, I wore an Oscar de la Renta I've already used in Buenos Aires, on August 2010...
