An Evening at the Ballet

The New York City Ballet held its season-opening gala on Thursday, but the biggest star at Lincoln Center was not a dancer or the choreographer or even the many celebrities in attendance.

Rather, the big star was the composer, rock star Paul McCartney, who worked with choreographer Peter Martins on "Ocean's Kingdom," a new, underwater-themed ballet.

"Ocean's Kingdom" is a love story about a sea princess and her star-crossed romance with a prince from the earthly realm.

Um, isn't this the story of the Little Mermaid?  Ocean's Kingdom will be released as an album next October.
