Masters at Work I: A Celebration of Ballet's Greats
The New York City Ballet presents 'Masters at Work I,' an evening dedicated to the innovative works of its co-founding choreographers, George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. This program features three distinct ballets that highlight the unique styles and expressive capabilities of their creators.
The evening opens with Balanchine's 'La Source,' a delightful ballet set to Léo Delibes' enchanting music, often described as a 'bubbling pink champagne' experience. Following this is 'The Four Temperaments,' another Balanchine masterpiece, which interprets Paul Hindemith's composition through a modern lens while referencing medieval psychological concepts.
Concluding the program is Jerome Robbins' comedic ballet 'The Concert,' which brings to life the humorous antics of concertgoers at a piano recital, set to the music of Frédéric Chopin. This diverse lineup promises an engaging exploration of ballet's expressive range, making it a must-see for dance enthusiasts.
