A DAZZLING BALANCHINE CLASSIC IN THREE PARTS
George Balanchine’s beloved program-length work takes the stage in its sparkling entirety. From the rich elegance of Emeralds, danced to excerpts from Pelléas et Mélisande and Shylock by Gabriel Fauré, to the bold neoclassicism of Igor Stravinsky’s Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra for Rubies, and finally the eternal radiance of Diamonds, set to Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky’s Symphony No. 3 in D major, this tripartite delight exemplifies the choreographer’s—and his company’s—multifaceted brilliance.
