"You're not the only one!  Both of my friends were also in tears!   \nI personally find that go-for-broke, no-holds-barred passion that Vishneva/Gomes displayed absolutely exhilarating.  They left everything out on the stage, and at the end, when the curtain went up, Vishneva just leaned against Gomes like she really was dying!  Incredible! \nIt occurs to me that Vishneva and Gomes have killed me on 4 of the past 5 June 7ths.  It's a special day for them!  There was \"Lady of the Camellias\" on 6/7/10 and 6/7/11, \"Onegin\" on 6/7/12, and then today! \nDuring the first curtain call, the curtain opened and the entire cast was on stage to congratulate Vishneva on her 10th anniversary.  First Gomes gave her flowers, then Irina Kolpakova (whom Diana lifted off the ground when she hugged her!), then Kevin McKenzie, then a little boy who I think is Vishneva's nephew.  Gomes kept sending her to the front of the stage to bow again, and the second time she jogged backwards to rejoin him, she almost fell over the flowers in the center of the stage!  It was such an endearing moment! \nThere was one more curtain call after this, but then people just wouldn't stop clapping.  One man kept yelling \"Bravo\" over and over and they were forced to come out one more time.  Gomes picked up Vishneva and put her on his shoulder--she wasn't expecting that and it was so cute! \nWhat a day!  Thank you, so, so much, Vishneva &amp; Gomes!  It has been such an utter privilege to see the two of you not just dance, but LIVE, the story of \"Manon\" onstage! \nTo many more years of Vishneva &amp; Gomes!! "
