La musique de Stravinsky aurait pu être la ligne directrice de cette soirée, qui débutait avec Agon et se terminait par le Sacre du Printemps (version Pina Bausch).

Miriam Miller is the latest ballerina to stand out from the crowded field at City Ballet and she may well be the best at such a young age since Sara Mearns. 

The closing tableau of Symphony in Three Movements is a monument to geometric abstraction that lingers in the mind long after you leave the theater, much like the paintings of Piet Mondrian.
