Performer: Anthony Dowell

It was a wonderful, heartening afternoon – it’s no wonder nearly all the 2025 graduates have gained contracts with several major ballet companies.

A triple bill of works by Balanchine shows off both the dancers’ versatility and his own wide ranging skills as a choreographer. 

Some great and some lacklustre performances in the Jerome Robbins triple bill on opening night of New York City Ballet's winter season – and a missed opportunity.   

Throughout the entire cast, every named role was performed with the mix of enthusiasm, affection and assuredness.

On the evidence of this performance, there is every reason to be cheerful.

Avec trois œuvres datées des années 1960 et 1970, l’Opéra de Paris fait redécouvrir le répertoire de Jerome Robbins, emblématique de la danse néoclassique, entre minimalisme et paillettes, avec une touche d’humour.
