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

A slightly under par opening night at New York City Ballet but nevertheless, some strong individual performances.

Balanchine's much-loved yet maddeningly disjointed A Midsummer Night's Dream returns to New York City Ballet. Some glorious performances on opening night, some uneven. But the night belonged to the bugs.

New York City Ballet dancing Balanchine's A Midsummer Night's Dream is the happiest way to end a long season.

An uneven performance with mishaps and mis-pairings, yet still offering some outstanding individual interpretations.

Someone at New York City Ballet needs to believe in Orpheus before they present it again.

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

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."
