After the walking tour, I went to the ballet (through the generosity of NYU) with my friend Kelsey. It was, I think, the first time I've ever been to a ballet and it was really amazing. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the death of Jerome Robbins, the American choreographer who choreographed The King and I, Fiddler on the Roof, and West Side Story. He also choreographed over 60 ballets and we saw 3 of them, along with another ballet created by a student of Jerome's.
This is a giant hall inside the opera house. It was pretty huge and extravagant.

Our seats were in one of the boxes. And since we were there early, we got to sit in the front row until the people who actually had those seats came and kicked us out.

View of the staircase. The opera house is also the setting for the Phantom of the Opera, so this might look familiar to you.
