Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Western Symphony

NYCB's triple bill that harks back to the 1950s proves a love letter to an America that never was.

An evening of George Balanchine’s joyous, kitschy send-ups, with clever parodies of Petipa ballets.

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

Le New York City Ballet est à l’affiche de la douzième édition des Etés de la Danse au Théâtre du Châtelet. Cette participation est une première attendue de longue date, alors que le festival a déjà accueilli de nombreuses compagnies américaines.
