El estreno de Iolanta y El castillo de Barbazul, retrasado a causa de la nieve, abrió con un poderoso canto y una escena muy efectiva. Los roles principales en Iolanta destacaron por una interprtación muy bella, mientras que en El castillo de Barbazul sobresalió la ejecución de la orquesta del Met.

A triple bill including Tiler Peck’s newest ballet for NYCB, does not entirely work. Too much blue light and sadness for one program.

A longtime NYCB fan favorite, Concerto DSCH  by Alexei Ratmansky, meets the New York premiere of Christopher Wheeldon's Continuum. But the evening belonged to corps dancer Ruby Lister in Edwaard Liang’s Distant Cries.

The New York Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel deliver the world premiere of Lang's The wealth of nations, inspired by Adam Smith's famous treatise.
