Of Untamed Passions that end in tragedy

It was easy to attend the ballet, a seemingly airy fairy affair in comparison to the heavy segment and finals of Corporate Finance at the National University of Singapore. Yet, it took me awhile to adjust my mind to appreciating the arts that evening and equally difficult to churn out a review for Asia Dance Channel in the midst of corporate work and studies.

I just submitted my second dance review, two weeks after the performance and overdue in the midst of juggling facts and writing a paper about doing business in China. If only I could tell stories in the latter ... I would be able to sleep better.

This is the story of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina as presented by the Finnish National Ballet; the portrayal of how passions unrestrained, albeit sweet and fulfilling for various moments in time, can lead to a contrived life of guilt, insecurity, dissatisfaction and ultimately death. A moving plot with moments of brilliance, Anna Karenina is a ballet that has the potential of taking you and your heart on a roller-coaster ride with moments of breathtaking beauty, great passion, explosive energy, and yet disappointments of a judgmental and unforgiving society that does not allow second chances for those who have made mistakes in life. The ballet reminds all that there is indeed a heavy price to pay for going against societal norms.
