Friends over last night so Tchaikovsky was the focus. We started the evening with a sobering documentary describing the agony of his life in continual fear of the exposure of his homosexuality.
But the spirits were soon restored looking and listening to this lavish production - great music via DTS HD audio and excellent dancing. Recommended.
