Combining two works each from NYCB Founder George Balanchine and Ballet Master in Chief Peter Martins, this program contrasts classical ballet with modern movements.

  • Location:

  • David H. Koch Theater

  • Running Time:

  • 2 Hr. 21 Min.

TSCHAIKOVSKY/AMERICAN

    In his own words, George Balanchine called the exuberant Allegro Brillante "everything I know about classical ballet in thirteen minutes."

  • Purple

    • Choreography by: Peter Martins
    • Principal Casting: May 16, 18 Eve: Janie Taylor, Jared Angle (*first time in role)
      May 19 Mat, June 8 Eve: Jennie Somogyi, Jared Angle

    Set to a score by Michael Torke, Martins' contortionistic choreography employs off-balance shifts of weight and languorous movements to create a coolly sensuous pas de deux.

    • Principal Casting: May 14, 18 Mat: Sara Mearns, Megan Fairchild, Ask la Cour, Jared Angle
      June 7, June 8 Eve: Teresa Reichlen, Amar Ramasar*, Megan Fairchild, Jonathan Stafford (*first time in role)

    An amalgam of dance idioms, this ballet is alternately noble and quixotic as two couples, classical and modern, interact.
