Of William Shakespeare’s tragedies, none has attracted as much attention and discussion as Romeo and Juliet. This tale of star-crossed lovers from feuding families has inspired countless generations of lovers and artists since it was first performed in 17th century England. The list of adaptations of Shakespeare’s original is long, and includes dramas, operas, ballets and songs. There are also a number of movie adaptations of the original play, as well as films that were inspired by its story.

What would Christmas be like without The Nutcracker? Its images of snowflakes, a tree that grows magically on Christmas Eve, an army of toy soldiers, a colony of rats, the sugarplum fairy, and a nutcracker prince hark back to its fairy-tale root that thrilled readers young and old alike hundreds of years ago with its tale of wonder. Its shift from page to stage has earned it countless admirers the world over, thanks in great part to the music of Russian master Peter Tchaikovsky.

                    [Summary] => 



The thrill of going to the ballet lies in seeing memorable scenes of graceful ballerinas twirling like tops and leaping in the air. Beauties dressed in pristine white tutus send many ballet goers into rapture. For many of them, just the sight of the corps de ballet is reason to be in the theater. Think of the lake of swans in Swan Lake, the forest of Willis in Giselle, the snowflakes in The Nutcracker, and the kingdom of shades in La Bayadere.
