Intérprete: Teresa Reichlen

A matinee performance that was bright and polished across the board, boding well for the company's future. 

From the frivolous to the profound, New York City Ballet celebrates the galvanizing partnership of George Balanchine and Igor Stravinsky.

Union Jack isn't a Balanchine masterpiece – it's more of a fun-sterpiece, which is even better.

Yet the audience loved it, just as they love every performance of A Midsummer's Night DreamI've ever attended. This ballet is a tribute to Shakespeare, a tribute to love, a tribute to dance. One walks out feeling as if one's "soul is in the sky."

Modern dance choreographer Pam Tanowitz' first commission for New York City Ballet proved unruly yet fascinating, sandwiched between George Balanchine's enduring Valse-Fantaisie and Western Symphony.

Judging by this show, New York City Ballet is doing fine in the aftermath of Peter Martins’s departure.
