Last night was magical.
I can't really think of any other way to describe my evening at the Royal Albert hall watching the ballet, Romeo & Juliet performed by the National English Ballet. The building was magnificent. It was opened by Queen Victoria in 1871 and sits in the South Kensington area of London. The building is quite inspiring with it's round Victorian architecture, high ceiling, and tier ceiling. The performance was spectacular in this venue. It contained a full orchestra and a huge company of dancers. Even though I was at the very top of the hall, the sound was as if I was sitting right next to the orchestra and it was really interesting sitting above the dancers. This provided the opportunity to witness the choreography as a whole.
I started crying when the performance began because the overwhelming beauty of the hall, dancers and music. What an incredible experience!
I just have a few things to pack up and I'll be on my way to the airport. I'm ready to see my family and friends back in Iowa but I am going to miss London a lot. I have learned incredible lessons and experienced wonderful things. This place will always be a part of me.
Until next time,
Bethany Rose
