TWO SCINTILLATING BALLETS SET THE STAGE FOR NEW WORKS FROM JUSTIN PECK AND AMY HALL GARNER
New York City Ballet’s past and present meet here, as a Balanchine classic is joined by three works from 21st-century choreographers. Rubies, from the full-length Jewels, has become an established stand-alone diversion, delightful for Balanchine’s endlessly energetic and witty interpretation of the splendid Stravinsky score. Like a puzzle of shifting shapes and formations, Resident Choreographer Justin Peck created In Creases in 2012. Peck also presents a brand-new work—his 24th for the Company—on this program, while Amy Hall Garner, whose work has been seen on a wide array of ballet and theater stages, makes her debut with the Company.
