Melbourne Trip July 2011 for the performance
of The Merry Widow
Friends and their guests enjoyed a busy 2 day schedule. Monday included a Wardrobe Tour, a very special treat watching a pre-performance warm-up class (with make up) a stunning final performance by Kirsty Martin as ‘Hanna Glawari’ in The Merry Widow. After a much deserved standing ovation, Kirsty was joined by her son as she made her final curtain call.
Tuesday saw the enthusiastic group back at the Primrose Potter Australian Ballet Centre and they were able to watch the Dancers Company and their guest artists from The Australian Ballet do their class. After lunch in the Dancer’s Deli there was a surprise invitation to watch a run through of Don Quixote in costume by The Dancers Company.
The optional tour of The Johnson Collection was greatly enjoyed. The current tour theme was ‘flowers’ and these were highlighted in the artwork, furnishings and chairs.
The happy group enjoyed the chance to see the front of house as well as behind the scenes of The Australian Ballet.
