Australian Ballet :The Nutcracker - The story of Clara

A friend invited me to watch this classical Graeme Murphy's Nutcracker - The Story of Clara at Sydney Opera House on Friday evening, performed by Australian Ballet, with Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra. The story is about a Russian ex-ballerina, her dream brought her back to the the time of her rich and eventful dancing life during her young age. There we seen a lot of stunning ballet performance which are luscious and breath-taking.

We had really perfect seating in the theatre, we sat on fourth row and right in the middle. How great! This is my first time watched ballet performance, a totally stunning showpiece of performance. Love it =P

First broadway musical i have been to---> The Phantom of the Opera

I watched Phantom of the Opera at the Sydney's Lyric Theatre with Elaine, Katherine, Vernon and sis on Thursday night. The performance was simply AMAZING *thumbs up!!*. I love the musical, the lyrics, sets, characters and their singing...it was really stunning and i'm totally been swept away by the romance in this story.
