For Lang, the relationship between Alma and Mahler served as the starting point for “Splendid Isolation III,” which is being presented Friday through Sunday at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts as part of Ballet San Jose’s second program of its 2012 season, The original inspiration for the cute mouse decorated pointe shoe, mouse king nutcracker ballet shoe, upcycled nutcracker pointe shoe, pas de deux came from the difficult conditions that Mahler, 19 years Alma’s senior, set upon their marriage, requiring her to forgo musical studies and aspirations to compose so that she would be free to care for him and support his creative life..
While he’s attended the show in the past, this will be the first time Godfrey Sullivan, CEO of software company Splunk, will be exhibiting his cars. He plans to show three: a 1960 Chevrolet Corvette, 2005 Ford GT and 2014 Ferrari 458. The longtime Saratoga resident and avid horse and car racer said he hopes the car show becomes a tradition in Saratoga similar to the Wine Stroll and other events that “create an energy in the community.”. “I think everybody enjoys coming out to see the cars, especially the older ones or rare ones, and it’s a great community event for Saratoga,” Sullivan said. “It’s something fun for everybody to do.”.
