Hello darlings!
It's Wednesday, and you know what that means... time for a new Pink Tutu blog post! 💅✨ This week, I'm whisking you all off to Prague, a city brimming with romance and architectural marvels, just like a tutu in a perfectly timed pirouette. 🥰
As you all know, a Pink Tutu blog wouldn't be complete without some twirling, so I'm squeezing in a ballet performance at the National Theatre tonight. It's a triple bill featuring a breathtaking piece by Balanchine, followed by a gorgeous rendition of 'Giselle' and concluding with a daring contemporary number that promises to leave us on the edge of our seats!
But before I go prancing towards the stage, let's explore the charm of Prague. I arrived yesterday, making my way through the beautiful Czech countryside by train. My pink tulle train was perfectly matched with the wildflowers cascading along the fields, creating a magical, storybook feel! 🌸💖 (Don't you just love train travel?!)
Tutus, Shopping, and Prague's Enchanting Architecture
Speaking of magical, Prague truly is a city of fairytale proportions. I found myself completely enchanted by the ancient buildings - the vibrant colours, intricate details, and, of course, the imposing Prague Castle! Just as much as I adore ballet, I love seeing the exquisite craftsmanship that goes into old buildings and monuments. These structures whisper stories from centuries past, much like the graceful movements of a dancer. 🏰🤫
Shopping is an absolute must for any tutu-loving adventurer, and Prague did not disappoint! I fell head over heels for a quaint boutique filled with handmade Czech crystal and the most stunning, shimmery, iridescent fabrics. (They had some seriously beautiful pink satins - think vintage ballerina glamour!). Needless to say, my shopping bags were overflowing with delights, and my imagination was running wild with ideas for my next tutu creation. 🧵✨
Ballet Performances, Theatre Glamour, and a touch of Derbyshire 💖
Tonight's ballet performance at the National Theatre is sure to be exquisite. It's one of the most magnificent theatres I've ever seen, a truly spectacular example of neo-renaissance architecture, complete with golden accents and a breathtaking ceiling. Honestly, I can't even imagine how stunning it must have looked in the 1800s when it was first constructed! 💖🏛️
My fellow Derbyshire peeps will love this part: I was lucky enough to chat with a fellow dance enthusiast at the theatre entrance. We ended up exchanging notes on the local ballet scene, sharing stories about our favourite choreographers, and the wonderful dancers who bring those intricate ballets to life. It's so inspiring to connect with other dance-loving souls and know that we share this passionate pursuit, no matter where we are in the world!
Prague’s Vibrant Artistic Heart, and My Next Tutu Adventure
From ballet to history, from exquisite architecture to delightful boutiques, Prague has stolen my heart! It's the perfect place to immerse myself in both fashion and the beauty of dance. There’s truly something about the historical context, the art, the cobbled streets, the enchanting river – it’s pure magic. ✨
Tomorrow, I’m venturing out to explore Prague's famous Astronomical Clock – which was built in 1410! I’m then going to hunt down some of Prague’s best coffee shops and soak in the bustling city vibe!
As always, I’m eager to hear about your thoughts, my lovely readers. Where’s your dream ballet destination? What’s the one place you’ve always wanted to see a show in? Share your adventures, your passion for ballet, and let's spread the joy of twirling!
See you next Wednesday for more Pink Tutu travels.
Sending love and twirls,
Emma 💖
