Is this an arabesque or a paw de deux?
Well, by accident, mama and papa watched this 3-year old on You Tube this morning after Mya’s mama sent a website on which doggies sing!
Mya’s mama sends fun videos to see when we wake up so that we’ll laugh first before we read all the bad news, haha, and along with the doggies there was another video of this amazing prodigy.
I know, I know, this has nothing to do with mama’s and papa’s date last night, but in a way, it IS musical, and the singing puppies were actually better than last night’s dance program at Rome’s opera house.
BUT, mama loved just being there, and frankly, her description of the little salmon thingy she ate before the show was all I cared about, haha.
So here’s the rundown: Blanche Neige (Snow White) was danced for 1 hour and 57 minutes (!) WITH NO INTERMISSION and mama found out later that papa was about to jump out of his seat and make an exit, but papa was so polite, he stayed put. Mama says the best part of the whole production was the costumes of the wicked witch and Snow White by a guy called Gautier.
And mama told me that the seven dwarfs were the tallest dancers she’s ever seen, haha.
I think maybe it needs a re-write…er…re-choreograph, whatever that is.
Still, a date is a date and delightful, even if it’s to hold hands in a park or have a gelato down the street.
Now THAT’S my idea of a real date.
Mama, I hope you order THREE!
Make mine vanilla, okay?
Dad used to have a singing dog and he says when others would call to him it was kind of funny. We also support three ices
Oh, where is that doggy now? Would love to hear about that.
teehee – LOVE the description of the 7 dwarfs! Basketball team? They should have done a spoof – that would have been fun!! But hey, date night is welcome around here, no matter where! Loulou, just hope our mamas don’t get the weird idea to teach us to sing!! Would make an interesting duo though. They could play a chopsticks duo and we could do the back-up harmony?
Hey, I think YOU could learn to play Chopsticks and I could myow the accompaniment.
Ah, the patience of your papa to please your mama on date night. 🙂
THEY were both surprised at the event. Papa had wanted to see this man’s work, Angeline Preljocaj (pronounced pray joe cahge) and it wasn’t that bad at all, just a bit boring, but normally papa loves anything except bad movies, haha. He was in the business and so has more knowledge about movies than most. But mama is a movie-lover through and through.
Well, LouLou, I can honestly say I have attended one opera* in my life (Madame Butterfly – with my high school class) and one dance recital (produced by one of my former students) and my teeth fell asleep. So the gelato sounds like the best deal.
*I am not counting “Jesus Christ Superstar”, of which I know the entire libretto.
OH, mama LOVES Jesus Christ Superstar as do her grandkids who know every word, as you do, but mama adores Puccini’s opera, and Madame Butterfly is the best, even if corny. Mama loved opera and Pavarotti’s works, rest his soul, whatever that means.
Wow, two hours of dancing non-stop? That musta been something to see!
Well, I think THEY needed gelato at the end.
Our neighbor dogs sing too much sometimes! Oh yea, vanilla works for me too.
Oh, those neighbor doggies…throw him a bone.
