"Visually rich and showy"
--The Washington Post
Jewels is "a marvelously entertaining compilation… thought provoking and crowd pleasing, deeply traditional and utterly modern."
--The New York Times
For five performances as part of its spring 2014 engagement, New York City Ballet performs Balanchine's 1967 Jewels--a full-evening masterpiece in three acts showcasing the range of styles that Balanchine commanded. Emeralds recalls the 19th-century dances of the French Romantics with music from Gabriel Fauré's Pelléas et Mélisande and Shylock. Rubies sends its dancers racing across the stage like lightning to Igor Stravinsky's jazz-inflected Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra. And Diamonds, performed to Tchaikovsky's majestic Symphony No. 3, venerates the regality of Balanchine's classical Russian heritage.
For two performances, the company also brings a thrilling program of works by contemporary choreographers. Christopher Wheeldon's Soirée Musicale's youthful cast entices you to dance the night away under a blanket of stars. Justin Peck's acclaimed Year of the Rabbit highlights its corps de ballet as it forms intricate and architectural patterns to a classical orchestration of Sufjan Stevens's electronica. Alexei Ratmansky's Namouna, A Grand Divertissement, with seven featured performers and more than 20 supporting cast members, abstracts a comical 19th-century story ballet into a highly stylized series of animated and athletic dances full of dramatic texture.
