Puss in Boots

Posted on 5 November 2010 · 3 Comments


After a fabulous rehearsal last night, I now have just a day left before the BIG DAY of the concert. Almost 700 tickets have been sold, so the pressure is on!

One of the shortest pieces is the “Puss in Boots” piece from Sleeping Beauty. In the ballet all sorts of fairy tales come to Sleeping Beauty’s wedding. I decided to make him rather elegant and balletic… it seemed appropriate!

I’ll have another run through at home tonight then a few goes tomorrow. Oh… and I must learn the words…

“Far away, and long ago, there lived a king and queen…”

    I’ll try to get some “evidence” of proceedings… filming and photography are forbidden strictly speaking… but I’ll try to get a few discreet pictures…
