Performer: Baily Jones

Last night’s New York City Ballet program gave you an idea of Tallchief’s versatility and depth in a fitting tribute to her great talent.

The final performance at NYCB’s fall season was the best one. One has to have just pure admiration for this company, its dancers, its history, its future.

Namouna does go on too long and not every joke lands, but it’s a fun ballet and the company clearly relishes dancing it. 

The fall season opens with three Balanchine ballets and what felt like a gesture of thanks to a trio of ballerinas for their many years of service to the company.
