NYCB Presents: All Balanchine III

Three masterpieces coalesce for a breathtaking journey through George Balanchine’s astonishingly diverse oeuvre. A vital part of NYCB’s repertory since the company’s inaugural performance in 1948, the brilliant classical showpiece Symphony in C was choreographed in only two weeks; redesigned in 2012, earrings, headpieces, and costumes adorned in Swarovski elements bring new radiance to this celebrated work. It is joined by two dances performed to the music of Stravinsky, like Balanchine a Russian emigré and one of the choreographer’s favorite composers: Agon, a revered Black & White leotard ballet that exemplifies neoclassicism in its purest form, and Firebird, one of the most lavish dances in the repertory, a fantastical tale of love and triumph.
