Despite its gaudy sets and stretches of ho-hum choreography, Balanchine’s Jewels remains a triumph for New York City Ballet. 

Jerome Robbins' Dances at a Gathering and George Balanchine's Diamonds make a study in contrasts. With lots of debuts in the former and seasoned leads in the latter. 

With a trio of excellent performances, Balanchine's sassy Rubies proves the hit as Jewels – a relatively recent acquisition – returns to the Wiener Staatsballett.

Famed New York City Ballet principal Suzanne Farrell lit up a New York stage once again Wednesday evening, this time with her company’s Joyce Theater debut. Ms. Farrell’s unique relationship with choreographer George Balanchine and beautiful artistry as a dancer made her a legend in the dance world; from this legacy The Suzanne Farrell Ballet was founded.

In the mid-1960s, a visit to renowned French jewelers Van Cleef and Arpels inspired George Balanchine to choreograph a glittering ballet. New York City Ballet premiered Jewels in April of 1967 at the New York State Theater (now called the David H. Koch Theater) and it remains a fan favorite 44 years later, delighting audiences from that same stage.

Not so many moons ago, opening night at the Opera House meant dressing up—dinner jackets, long dresses and furs, with of course, the obligatory embellishment of the family jewels. Alas, jeans, shirtsleeves and sneakers are all too often seen these days, so glamour and style must stem from the stage outwards into the auditorium.
