Cincinnati Sept 23 (?): Nicholsons/La Sylphide

**Rex_Tremende** · 15th August 06, 07:47 PM

After reading Ham's recent contribution to the other thread I started on being kilted at the ballet, I noticed in the program from the recent gala that ballet tech ohio performing arts association is producing La Sylphide, September 22-23 at Aronoff's Jarson-Kaplan.

Is there any interest in doing drinks/dinner at Nicholson's followed by the performance across the street on Saturday 9/23?

The story of La Sylphide, if you recall, is set in Scotland, and to drive the point home (since one stage looks a lot like the others), it features kilts.

Now this could be an incredibly lame idea, going to see a ballet in kilts because it's a story involving Scotland and kilts. On the other hand, a lot of non-kilted people would probably get it. It's also worth noting that the company is actually a school, so it involves a lot of young people not quite ready for Lincoln Center, but the price is usually reasonable. The principals are usually professionals, though, and I think it's good to support aspiring kids in this way.

Cincinnati folks and others in the surrounding region: is there any interest in this idea? Interested lurkers, if there are any, can reach me at the_ID_I_use_here_on_xmarks (at) fuse.net .

Thanks,

how much are tickets?

I don't know yet, since the company hasn't updated their website - but I should also add that attending the show is not obligatory, just a nice thing to do after dinner.

As soon as I know, I'll post it here.

Thanks,
Rex.

cool.

The wife and i are expecting our 2nd child in February, so not spending a ton of money is a big goal of ours right now.

As of right now, my wife and I will try to attend.

At last, Ballet Tech Ohio has posted the details for La Sylphide on their website. Tickets are $22.00 at the Jarson-Kaplan for the performance that starts at 8:00, Saturday, September 23.

I'd like to suggest a gathering at Nicholson's at 6:00 for drinks and dinner, and again the show is optional for those who don't go for that sort of thing.

Adam - are you and Maureen still planning to attend? Others?
