  JEWELS
  - Jewels
  Buy Tickets
  A cherished staple of the repertory since its debut in 1967, Jewels was inspired by a visit George Balanchine made to the jewelers Van Cleef & Arpels. Widely considered to be the first full-length abstract ballet, its three sections express the breadth of Balanchine’s artistry: the lyricism of Emeralds, set to the music of Fauré; the jazz-inflected energy of Rubies, danced to Stravinsky; and the noble classicism of Diamonds, to Tschaikovsky.
  Running time: 2 hrs. 7 min.
  - Jewels
    
    Music by: Gabriel Fauré, Igor Stravinsky, and Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky
    
    Choreography by: George Balanchine
    
    Principal Casting:
    EMERALDS: Lauren King, Daniel Applebaum, Meagan LeCrone, Andrew Scordato, Kristen Segin, Harrison Ball, Sarah Villwock
    
    RUBIES: Lauren Lovette, Gonzalo Garcia, Claire Kretzschmar
    
    DIAMONDS: Teresa Reichlen, Russell Janzen
    
    Balanchine distilled the brilliant facets of precious stones into a grand display: Emeralds moves at Fauré's mesmerizing pace, while Rubies races like lightning through Stravinsky's jazz-inflected capriccio. With its symphonic Tschaikovsky score, Diamonds venerates the regality of Balanchine’s classical heritage.

  Dance is wedded to story and character in this trio of classics. Jerome Robbins’ buoyant Fancy Free, set to music by Leonard Bernstein, depicts the romantic adventures of sailors on leave. Robbins and Bernstein reunited to create the classic Broadway musical West Side Story, which Robbins later distilled into a dance suite in 1995. And Balanchine’s Prodigal Son, featuring designs by the painter Georges Rouault, tells the Biblical parable through explosively expressive movement.
