Bonjour tout le mode, je suis allé a mon premier ballet. In addition to going to first my opera, I also went to my first ballet. “Who Cares,” is a ballet presented by the Palais Garnier Opera House, created by George Balanchine in 1970. The ballet, which unfolds against the backdrop of Manhattan’s skyline, is composed by a series of dances narrated by the music of American composer George Gershwin. I liked the ballet, in particular the wardrobe, the choreography, and the set design. I also liked the Neo-Baroque architecture style of the building, such as the auditorium, the grand staircase, and the grand foyer.
