As the lights went down and the curtain came up on the beautiful dancers of this incredible company. I found myself overcome with emotion, thinking about how momentous this return to the stage is. As a performer (Who's first many years of her career were on the stage) and as a lover of theatre and dance, I felt so happy and grateful to be there and to be sharing it with my children. Thank you @nationalballet in the words of my four year old… « that was the beautifulest thing in the whole wide world » #angelsatlasnbc"".
