New York City Ballet

Last night's performance at NYC Ballet featured Balanchine's Stravinsky Violin Concerto and Jerome Robbins' Fancy Free.  In between these two repertoire favorites was a relatively new work, Alexei Ratmansky's Russian Seasons.  Russian Seasons incorporated both artistic grace and whimsy.  Some movements were exceptionally fast paced while other movements more languid and lovely.  The entire company is a tour de force; dancing at it's finest.  In fact, you would be hard pressed to find a more beautiful ensemble of dancers; BARRE none.  Be sure to check out the  incredible photographs of the dancers in the lobby and get familiar with a company that is one of the world's finest. I urge you to get tickets for the upcoming season and to seek out some of the  newer ballets especially by Alexi Ratmansky and Christopher Wheeldon, who was honored this season with an entire Wheeldon program.
