Triple-A Toeing

Thanks for covering the Bolshoi Ballet [“Head to Toe,” December]. I’ve never been to a ballet, but my kids liked the idea—so we went. Even though it was the most expensive ticket I’ve ever bought for anything, it was worth every penny. Amazing! I had no idea that the Twin Cities dance scene was as sophisticated and popular as it is. The liner notes in the program, unfortunately, were almost impossible to make any sense out of, so I was grateful for The Rake’s clear and concise overview of the Bolshoi’s productions. I had plenty of time to think about that afterwards, as I sat in the car for an hour trying to get away from the clogged campus of the U. Thank God I had a copy of your magazine in my car. The kids were mercifully asleep in the back, but I would have gone crazy without you.
