Miami City Ballet

Program:

Balanchine/Jewels (music: Faur., Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky)

A favorite in the Balanchine canon, George Balanchine’s Jewels is a triptych of dances evoking French (“Emeralds”), American (“Rubies”), and Russian (“Diamonds”) ballet traditions, inspired by the choreographer’s visit to the jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels. Miami City Ballet is famed for its dedication to Balanchine’s repertory, style, and technique, and returns for the first time in more than a decade to perform his seminal ballet, danced to music by Faur., Stravinsky, and Tchaikovsky.
