After seeing Evelyn perform in the Nutcracker last weekend, Troy mentioned how it has been a couple of years since Evelyn has actually watched a performance strictly as an audience member. Since we are only 40 minutes north of Providence, Rhode Island, I took the girls to the ballet there this afternoon.
The Providence Performing Arts Center was stunning. The theater was built in 1928, and the interior has been restored to its original splendor - gilded plasterwork, replicated ornate carpet, imported marble columns and huge crystal chandeliers. The girls and I were in awe of the beauty of this theater.
Anyway...back to the ballet! While waiting for the doors to open, I let Julia choose her own nutcracker doll. She was so excited to have her very own nutcracker. Both girls were anxious to see how today's story compared to other performances they have seen. Naturally, it was different, but very enjoyable. Evelyn is even considering auditioning for this company's Nutcracker ballet next fall...we'll see what happens!
