 I did not know anything about Esmeralda, not even that she was a fictional characters in Victor Hugo’s novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I found this review of a 2011 performance in the New York Times.  

 If my income taxes are finished, you will find me at the ballet that night -- at least the HD Live Ballet.

  1. Go to the Royal Winnipeg's ballet of Alice's Adventure in Wonderland, which I saw live here in the Peg. It is not a traditional ballet, in fact there are several moments in the production during which traditional ballet is mocked by the dancers and the short speaking script. The, now retired, principal ballerina is handed a megaphone at one point and starts yelling at the performers and the audience as the Queen of Hearts. Watch the reaction of the other dancers when the one traditional ballet dancer appears on stage. Love ballet especially when humour is involved.
