”I really don’t know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it’s because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it’s because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all [...]
La Sylphide – Boston Ballet

Mar 072005
Enchanting and romantic, La Sylphide is a performance that shouldn’t be missed. As this piece is one of the oldest existing works in ballet repertoire, I was weary about what to expect. Not to worry, Boston Ballet’s Artist Director, Mikko Nissinen, has done a fantastic job updating this classic with elaborate sets, tailored costumes, and [...]

Can you imagine getting married, with all of the adjustments that it entails, followed almost immediately by a move to a new city, requiring one to give up local friends and family and exchange a stimulating job for a largely supportive role for your partner?

I went back to my hometown, Manhattan, last weekend for the first time in five weeks. The previous weekend I’d spent there consisted of packing up my best friend, Stacey’s, apartment after she perished in the World Trade Center on that certain double-digit day in September.
