...wings were adorned with bouquets while garlands and bells hung from above. In a series of dances to commemorate moments when the town bells would be rung—dawn, prayer, work, war, and peace—Boston Ballet’s principals and soloists performed with grace. Soloist Rie Ichikawa (as Dawn) and Whitney Jensen (as Spinner), one of the corps de ballet, gave particularly technically sound performances. They were accompanied by more than 30 young students of the Boston Ballet School, who were endearing in their meticulous symmetric formations and tiny pink tutus...
...exception can be made in this case.

Its initial aim was to raise $135,000 and buy as many of Marceau's most artistically significant relics as possible - including Bip's trademark costume (for which bids opened on Wednesday at a mere $1,350). Despite their collecting more than 3,000 signatures of support in less than two weeks, Martell acknowledges that they got significantly less money than hoped for. Still, during Tuesday's auctioning, Bochenek made...
