Saturday Superstition Changes
Here is a superstition that, in my
experience, is ruthlessly ignored. Never
change anything on opening day (night).
This may be more of an individual thing,
since directors and choreographers are notorious for changing “just one more little
thing” before the curtain goes up on an opening performance. But most dancers I know wouldn’t change anything
in their choreography this late in the game.
Be that as it may, it is believed to
bring bad luck if anything is changed on the day of an opening performance.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Ballet Superstition #184:
“Never change anything on opening day.”

Quote of the Day:
“Life is a
series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates
sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever
way they like.”
