Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Andres Zuniga

A gala to be remembered for the sheer number of stellar performances both in classical music and all forms of dance.

A winning mixed bill at New York City Ballet, featuring three stylistically and conceptually very different works, yielded many gems. 

If the famous fairy variations in the Prologue can sometimes expose weaknesses, NYCB proved that it excels in pure classical ballet and not only in the neo-classical repertory.

The fall season opens with three Balanchine ballets and what felt like a gesture of thanks to a trio of ballerinas for their many years of service to the company.

The Four Seasons is such a happy, appealing ballet that the audience barely notice any unsteady moments.
