Sleeping Beauties
Another day out with Robert to see Matthew Bourne's Christmas offering at Sadler's Wells.
This time we combined it with an interesting visit to the Tate's vaults (by appointment) - which are nowhere near any of the galleries. It was reminiscent of Rankin's Open Doors and we felt we did not see enough paintings... (!) but actually it was pretty interesting in the discussion of how they treat and keep the art works. In fact I found the sculptures much more interesting than superficially they seemed - they were just huge crates with scribbled artist names on the outside of the boxes ("Rodin", "Hirst" etc - the latter with a "hazardous materials" label..), and for some reason seemed even more interesting for all that, imagining the contents....
The ballet was wonderful - the dancers are fabulous, and they had the added cuteness factor with a delightful piece of puppetry.
