Peter and the Wolf

Sydney was in her very first ballet performance last night at the Missouri Theater.  We have had a great experience this spring taking classes at The School of Missouri Contemporary Ballet.  She has learned so much!  Here are a few photos from the dress rehearsal and the actual performance that same night.

Starting with this adorable pic of the kittens warming up in the stairwell backstage.

The ballet was in conjunction with the Missouri Symphony Orchestra.  Our son, who was in the audience, was spellbound by the pieces that were played.  He just started piano lessons so he super interested in all things musical right now.

Everyone in the Peter and the Wolf cast did such an amazing job!

And I just LOVE the Missouri Theater.  There’s not a bad seat in that place, and it has a very regal feel to it.

I wish I had been able to take more pictures of the entire performance, but of course I was focused on my kitten 🙂

I was able to get a photo of the entire cast.  They all did such a great job!

Many family members drove several hours to come see Sydney’s performance.  She was showered with flowers and gifts!  I think she might wanna do some more performances after this, huh?

And Ben got to go on stage and conduct the orchestra!

All in all, it was a fantastic evening!  We are excited to continue learning with MCB and can’t wait for future performances!

XOXO,
