today, i went to the opera garnier in paris to see “le parc” (the park), a ballet by angelin preljocaj with music by mozart. unsurprisingly, i have a soft spot for the ending scene, but realized to my horror that i actually had already seen this scene in… a commercial. ruined it… also, what’s going on with the billion people coughing during the first ten minutes of any play/ballet/opera?? by lil
