I took my aunt to New York City Ballet while she was here.
At intermission she turned to me and said, “Real life is a lot better than TV!”
She’d seen Jewels on TV, she thought it was the Paris Opera, and that was wonderful, but being there is better. Exactly why, I asked. [I always want to ask words to that effect about any statement pro or con–inveterately journalistic as I am.]
“So much more immediacy.” You’re better able to take in “intricacy, the synchronization.”
