INSIDE THE REPERTORY

GEORGE BALANCHINE’S SERENADE

The first ballet Balanchine made in America. The first ballet danced by countless apprentices on the NYCB stage. The first ballet the Company performed after its 19-month pandemic-driven hiatus. Much like its choreography, the significance of Serenade within the ballet canon begs no explanation. Here, several generations of New York City Ballet artists express its significance to their personal artistry.
