NYCB's Andrew Veyette passes the torch with grace
Loading image...
A joyful, very gracious finale for a highly respected and loved principal dancer at NYCB. Andrew Veyette bows out with dignity and humility.
New York City Ballet: Balanchine's Americana
Loading image...
An evening of George Balanchine’s joyous, kitschy send-ups, with clever parodies of Petipa ballets.
NYCB's eclectic program worth the three hours
The ending of Stars and Stripesis a sure-fire applause machine. The lowering of the flag while all the regiments march and salute onstage is so corny that only Balanchine could have choreographed it with a straight face. And yet it worked in 1958 and it works in 2019.
