Dancing cowboys. Were not gay cowboys. Just regular cowboys.

I suppose getting an all-male Country Western number out of Onegin IS a bit of a stretch, but HEY -- the dancers did a fine performance. Nobody can complain that this was a boring number... the only reason Tchaikovsky "would be turning in his grave to see this" would be to get a better view. Thank you :)

well, they succeeded in making tchaikovsky even more gay, didn't think that was possible

@otherjoe1234 lol!

Since the extras in opera houses usually are all gay, I am sure they really loved their job this time.

@otherjoe1234 Yeah, I think thats the point starting with the Bourne version of Swan Lake, which is good but diffrent way of intrepreting it, but I think there's too much enphasis that Tchaikovsky was gay. We get it, most folks know he was by now.

Britten is different case his works are tinged with the fact he that was gay (in a very conservative period) but that's a totally different composer.

this is just STUPID. what a way to butcher Tchaikovsky! I certainly hope the poor audience didn't have to pay to watch this travesty!

[silverblue22]

I believe this is total rubbish...Tchaikovsky would be turning in his grave to see this traversty of his beautiful music.
