Oeuvre: Stravinsky Violin Concerto

Cette soirée est l’occasion de redécouvrir Balanchine et sa conception des ballets qui s’ancrent dans le corps, la personne et l’âme des danseurs pour les sublimer de façon graphique.

The whole evening had an excellence across four ballets that is a rare occasion. And it had a sui generis portrayal in Alexa Maxwell’s Novice. I would highly recommend seeing this program.

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.
