Work: This Bitter Earth

Divertimento from Le Baiser de la fée is revived infrequently. It is an odd ballet, as if Balanchine’s couldn’t quite resolve his troubles choreographing to this piece. 

Love Letter (on shuffle) is like a Taylor Swift Track 5. Full of romance and longing, and it makes its emotional impact every time.

It was worth the price of admission just to see the ebullient revival of Geoffrey Holder’s Dougla.
