Last Hurrah before year end: Nutcracker Ballet at the Teatro Colon, music by Tschaikovsky...

Main Floor and six levels of 'balconies'. Fortunately I had a 'seat' in the second row of one of the balconies. Each balcony has three rows of chairs, and a gallery for the standing public. Many of them brought miniature folding stools to sit down. Well, the 'seats' of the balconies are made for people with very short legs or very small children. There was no way to sit 'in line' with the seat without folding one's knees like a pocket knife....But, what plush surroundings...
