George Balanchine was the choreographic genius of the 20th century. “See the music, hear the dance,” he said—and you will in this stunning spring collection!
RAYMONDA VARIATIONS
Balanchine loved Alexander Glazunov’s music for the ballet Raymonda, praising its “grand and generous manner” and its “joy and playfulness.” See that admiration personified in this abstract, highly romantic dazzler.
TARANTELLA
Fascinating rhythms … Neapolitan flair. The master took Louis Moreau Gottschalk’s marvelous music and created a pas de deux to show off the explosive talent of Edward Villella and his incandescent partner, Patricia McBride. Enjoy this virtuosic showstopper!
ELEGIE
Russian soul personified—Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s exquisite “Suite No. 3” and Balanchine’s inspired choreography capture its essence in this dream ballet.
SERENADE
Set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic music, here is Balanchine’s first made-in-America ballet. A stunningly beautiful portrait of symmetry that bewitches audiences everywhere.
