NYCB's triple bill that harks back to the 1950s proves a love letter to an America that never was.

Atlanta Ballet began its season with a mixed bill which amply demonstrated the versatility and capabilities throughout all the ranks of the company.

Balanchine's much-loved yet maddeningly disjointed A Midsummer Night's Dream returns to New York City Ballet. Some glorious performances on opening night, some uneven. But the night belonged to the bugs.
