New York City Ballet deliver an enjoyable, diverse, if occasionally predictable triple bill with revivals of works premiered last season.

Scenic designs left the most lasting impressions of a mixed bill at New York City Ballet featuring a world premiere by Justin Peck.

It's got a lot of appeal, with a diverse range of choreography, and offering audiences the chance to see excellent dancing and even some partnerships forming from different companies.

 Both the new works are accessible ballets in the neoclassical style that is typical of the company.

Four works – one new, two older and a PNB premiere – display the company in all its imaginative versatility and fine technique.

The Joffrey Ballet presents a roster of choreographers with new approaches, a positive impression for the future of ballet. 

Ballets live and die by their scores – as Balanchine knew when he kept returning to Stravinsky. His Symphony in Three Movements will live forever, as will Justin Peck's The Times are Racing, to Dan Deacon's America.

Is there anything Tiler Peck can’t do? After her just completed triumph in Swan Lake we’re obliged to say no.
