Oeuvre: Donizetti Variations

At the New York City Center, where founder Arthur Mitchell became a star, Dance Theatre of Harlem delivered a diverse program of works by Balanchine, Forsythe, Garland and Jodie Gates.

In a first rate performance and just as balletomanes say goodbye to Harrison Ball, we say hello to the young talent, Domenika Afanasenkov. The cycle continues.

I must admit I like NYCB’s recent trend away from the themed programming. The combinations can seem strange, but the performances have more variety.
