Classic NYCB, this program opens with the Old West charm of Balanchine's Western Symphony, then hands over the reins to a pair of Robbins masterpieces: his ballet in sneakers N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz and the propulsive and contemporary Glass Pieces.
Western Symphony is a rodeo of frisky fillies and lonesome cowpokes with a rousing, non-stop finale that brings the curtain down.
N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz is a reflection of the post-war era when city streets were bustling with teens moving to cool jazz and angst-ridden beats.
Expansive in scope and streamlined in style, Glass Pieces captures the pulsating heartbeat of metropolitan life with its charged, urban choreography.
The performance of NYCB 2013 on the date of Saturday, May 11, 2013 is in the past. Please select a different date or change your selection.
