Me too, honestly. Right now, given my druthers I'd take the Royal Ballet. Alas Francophile, Paris Opera Ballet, with their brilliantly trained classical dancers, is saddled with poor repertory choices to show them off. Cojocaru's Aurora at the Royal was worth a mad sprint from Heathrow from a plane landing from LED at 17:30 for a 19:30 curtain.

That said, the Joffrey program in February is distinguished - Massine/Balanchine/Jooss - and Massine is rarely programmed now. I've booked a flight for $118 - I think it's worth it, and I like the city.
