<\/a>Scene: From our curtained window at the Intercontinental Le Grand Hotel in Paris overlooking the Opera Garnier. A wonderful surprise, Le Bal de l’X, a gala evening! An \u00c9cole polytechnique<\/a> event. The Polytechnique, nicknamed X, is one of the renowned grandes \u00e9coles, (literally in French “higher schools”), providing those who pass the famously selective entrance exam preparation as technocrats<\/a> to lead French government and industry. It was established during the French Revolution in 1794.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Scene: From the balcony, the cadets<\/a>, their dates, alumni, and others going to see\u00a0the Ballet of the Paris Opera,\u00a0a tribute to Roland Petit, one of the greatest choreographers of the twentieth century, through three poetic, theatrical and carnal works. Le rendez-vous<\/a>, Le Loup and Carmen, all centered around the theme of tragic love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
