Prince Claus of the Netherlands

What comes to mind when we mention her?

Well, great many things because dance happens to be her favorite art form, and, uh, she and her late, uh, husband, uh, Prince Claus, they visited our performances many, many, many times.

And in fact, when, when Queen Beatrix, when, when she went f-for her first official visit, uh, to Paris to, to meet President Mitterrand-

State visit

That's what the Paris Opera looked like.

Out of every window there were, there were flowers.

And, um, so this was a huge honor to be able to dance for President Mitterrand, Beatrix, and Claus, and, and all the diplomats of the world.

Mm-hmm.
