My husband and I have been regularly going to Boston Ballet for the last several years, and often she felt left out, and only once managed to come with me. So this fall for her birthday Gwyneth asked for a subscription to Boston Ballet.
So this year we opened the season with Cinderella.
Whimsical, contemporary with wonderful costumes from around 1920's and with Sergei Prokofiev’s resonant score we both really enjoyed it. Gwyneth's favorite were the "jumping pumpkins", men with pumpkins on their heads jumping in a round circle which represented the clock. And at some point Cinderella dramatically arrived in a pumpkin-carriage...
And it was a resounding success. My five year old was sitting holding her breath most of the time :)
