===== Portraits of Expression =====
A wonderful evening.  Balanchine Emeralds are always stunning. The green stage and green costumes were beautiful.  The graceful Balanchine lines were flowing.  The second act was a darker ballet of a cruel mother and her daughters.  A lone male appears to have a relationship with the sisters.  The ending is stunning when the curtain is pulled and one of the girls hangs herself.  The evening ended with a colorful Balanchine ballet set to lively Gershwin music.  Costuming was very colorful and easily my favorite of the night.\\
