Nureyev Gala 2017
Perhaps the most awaited event of the Season is going to take place tomorrow. The Nureyev Gala, a tradition to Viennese Audiences that was brought to life some years ago by Manuel Legris.
I never write a review about a Gala... it'd seem like a competition... and competition is just for sports - not for artists. Let us celebrate this beautiful End of a very beautiful (and logistically quite difficult) Season!
Yes. A celebration of the present, looking towards the next Season!
