Swan Lake @ njpac
1 Center Street
Newark, NJ
The New Jersey Performing Arts Center is the home to the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra (NJSO). It was opened in 1997. The dark wood interior of Prudential Hall (2,800 seats) is elegant.
Russian Ballet Theatre performed, didn’t impress me. A family with two or three kids sat behind me was noisy, with talking or opening some sort of candy. My good lord.
Afterward, two swans came out into the freezing lobby for publicity: $20 for a photo with them. The girls are professional, very pleasant but the skinny line (almost all Russians) made my heart cringe – please 
make the environment more hospitable to the perfumers.
Yoyo Ma is prominently displayed there, even it was years ago. I also see Diana Krall‘s ad for her upcoming (April 3) concert.
My other thought is: Will Putin invade Ukraine?
👇 written by my friend 是小蜜写的: 没有在半夜12点以后坐通勤火车就不算在纽约待过吧.不反对商业演出里的互动,可是演出结束后叫主角站在大厅里和观众合影也该照顾一下温度吧,所有的出口大门敞开,我们穿着棉衣在厅里都凉嗖嗖的,看两个女孩冻得不行还要面带职业微笑,不人道.吃饭的时候指着河对岸说演出就在那吧！实际是2小时的演出来回用了8小时在路上.干杯🍻 [调皮][捂脸][呲牙]
