After a year of hard work, my husband, Robert Perdziola, and I took our seats last night at the New York City Ballet Spring Gala. He designed the costumes for the new piece created by principal dancer and choreographer, Tiler Peck. Set to Édouard Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole, it opened the evening, followed by Balanchine's 1967 piece from the company's repertoire: Diamonds.
The event was an important company fund raiser and—as it turns out—many famous actors and performers do, indeed, still like opera and ballet! Mick Jagger was the Honorary Chair and took the stage with Jimmy Fallon. A wide range of notable (non-ballet-dancing) performers lent their support.
