NYC Ballet - All Balanchine, All Tschaikovsky

Last night @ the Koch Theatre, the New York City Ballet performed three of George Balanchine's ballets, all choreographed to the music of the great Russian composer, Peter Tschaikovsky.  Both composer & choreographer have transformed the world of ballet with their beautiful music and influential styles.  Balachine's choreography set to Tschaikovsky compositions elevates ballet to the precipice of elegance in dance.  The program began with a piece from Swan Lake, followed by the Allegro Brillante and ended with Tschaikovsky Suite No. 3.  A combined program of timeless beauty and magic that is breathtaking.  All Balanchine, all Tschaikovsky, all extraordinary dancers, who can ask for anything more, other than an encore?
