This was one of the most visually stunning and moving performances my daughters and I have ever attended. Accolades to your creative team, choreography team, production team, stunning orchestra and composers, amazingly talented performers, and anyone else who was involved in this breathtaking performance! I have never been more proud and humbled to be in the presence of the greatness that is the Montana Ballet Company.
I must also thank you for your overwhelming generosity as we were recipients of tickets donated for this performance from you to Family Outreach. This was such a special evening together for my daughters and I, as we were scheduled to have to separate as a family the following week to take our special needs son to Salt Lake for a medical procedure. These types of memories together are a gift we will treasure in our hearts for years to come. So thank you.
