点评:My husband and I enjoyed our first visit to the Pillow, to see UK's The Royal Ballet at the Henry J. Leir (outdoor) stage - wonderful dancers at a beautiful setting! It was our first time to west Massachusetts, as our daughter was working at the Pillow for the first time this summer. Seating is first come first served; with the line forming about 45 minutes before the show started, they let us in 30 minutes before. You sit on wood benches with backs. If there's bad weather, they'll move the outdoor performance indoors, but we didn't get a chance to see a show on their indoor stage.
It doesn't take long to walk around the beautiful all-outdoor campus, visit the Welcome Center and go through the small gift shop. We didn't eat there, though there looked to be good food options, an expensive sit down dinner in the tent (reservations required, menu did look good!) and a cafe too, with food you take away to eat at the picnic tables, or somewhere else on campus. You can dress pretty casual, it was very warm so my husband was in shorts, I wore a dress with sandals. You'll want to bring/wear bug spray for sure, and sunscreen. We wore hats, which we took off halfway through the show as the sun set behind the trees.
I highly recommend visiting the website first, buy tickets to any popular performances you want to see; we had our tickets waiting for us at will call and make meal reservations in advance if you want. We had a late dinner in downtown Lee where we were staying, about a 25 min drive. That's the closest city to the Pillow, so plan meals accordingly. We hope to come back again!
翻译:我和丈夫第一次去 Pillow 玩得很开心,在 Henry J. Leir(室外)舞台上观看了英国皇家芭蕾舞团的表演——在美丽的环境中欣赏了精彩的舞者!这是我们第一次去马萨诸塞州西部,因为我们的女儿今年夏天第一次在 Pillow 工作。座位是先到先得的;演出开始前 45 分钟左右就开始排队了,他们提前 30 分钟就让我们进去了。你可以坐在有靠背的木凳上。如果天气不好,他们会把室外表演搬到室内,但我们没有机会看到他们室内舞台上的表演。
在美丽的全室外校园里走一圈,参观欢迎中心,逛一逛小礼品店,不需要花很长时间。我们没有在那里吃饭,虽然那里的食物看起来不错,帐篷里有昂贵的正餐(需要预订,菜单看起来不错!),还有一家咖啡馆,你可以把食物带走在野餐桌上,或者在校园的其他地方吃。你可以穿得非常随意,天气很热,所以我丈夫穿了短裤,我穿了一条裙子和凉鞋。你一定要带上/涂上驱虫剂和防晒霜。我们戴着帽子,演出进行到一半时,太阳落到了树后,我们把帽子摘了下来。
我强烈建议先访问网站,购买你想看的任何热门演出的门票;我们的票已经准备好了,如果你想的话,可以提前预订餐点。我们在李市中心吃了一顿晚饭,我们住在那里,开车大约 25 分钟。那是离枕头最近的城市,所以要相应地计划餐点。我们希望再次回来!
