Igor Stravinsky — Symphony in Three Movements
Jerome Robbins' intimate knowledge of Chopin's piano works illuminates the delicate beauty of In the Night, set to the composer's nocturnes and featuring the romantic interplay among three couples set against a backdrop evoking a starry night sky. Balanchine's ever-popular leotard ballet Symphony in Three Movements ranks among the most exhilarating dances he created to the music of Stravinsky, with its driving energy matching the fierce pulse of the score. Rounding out the evening is a world premiere from Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky, his eighth dance commissioned by the Company.
