NYCB Presents: Eclectic NYCB II

A program that illustrates the breadth of the company’s repertory opens with a Balanchine classic, Divertimento No. 15, a scintillating dance set to a Mozart composition that features eight leading dancers in a series of variations that illuminate classical technique with captivating clarity. It is joined by Peter Martins’ Zakouski, a ballet for two dancers that takes its title from the Russian word for hors d’ouevres, honoring the four composers whose music the ballet employs—from Tschaikovsky to Stravinsky. Gianna Reisen became the youngest choreographer commissioned by the company with the frolicsome Composer’s Holiday when it premiered in 2017, while Justin Peck’s Heatscape marks another of his frequent creations with prominent collaborators, in this case the artist Shepard Fairey.
