But the longstanding practice of pairing choreographers with fashion designers continues to prove problematic.

Alexei Ratmansky and Justin Peck are all the more impressive among choreographers working today because of how many of their works seem destined to stay in the repertoire for a long time to come.

A flock of women triumphed on opening night of Peter Martins' patchy Swan Lake at New York City Ballet: the peerless Sara Mearns as Odette-Odile; Ana Sophia Scheller, Tiler Peck and Megan Fairchild in a spectacular pas de quatre; and corps dancers Jacqueline Bologna, Baily Jones, Alexa Maxwell and Claire Von Enck as the Four Little Swans. 

How lucky I am to live in a city where I can head over to Lincoln Center and catch an entire evening’s worth of Balanchine ballets, performed by the stellar artists that make up New York City Ballet.

Koch Theater) and it remains a fan favorite 44 years later, delighting audiences from that same stage.
