June 5, 2024Celebrating its 75th anniversary, New York City Ballet presents George Balanchine’s treasured Jewels. Amidst the grandeur of the Opera House, glittering gems sweep, shine, and swirl across the stage. Witness Balanchine’s artistry at its peak from the world-renowned company he cofounded 75 years ago.
A three-act ballet, Jewels is a stunning visual portrait showcasing three distinct styles of dance paired with music from different composers. The radiant display begins with the elegance and charm of “Emeralds,” moving at Gabriel Fauré’s mesmerizing pace and drawing from romantic French ballet. The playful pizzazz of “Rubies” is next, representing firecracker American ballet set to Igor Stravinsky’s jazz-inflected capriccio. With a regal finale in order, the command and glamour of “Diamonds,” alongside a symphonic Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky score, honors the masterful Balanchine’s own Russian heritage.
