Wolfgang Amadeus MozartDivertimento No. 15 in B-flat for Two Horns and Strings, K. 287 (part of 'Divertimento No. 15')
Pyotr Ilyich TchaikovskySwan Lake, Op. 20, No. 19a: Pas de deux (part of 'Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux')
Camille Saint-SaƫnsCarnival of the Animals (add. arrangements by Andrea Quinn; arr. Mack Schlefer for piano, four hands)

Two plotless Balanchine classics and a narrative ballet from Christopher Wheeldon comprise this program. Divertimento No. 15 is a bravura series of variations marked by complex and captivating classical steps, while the ebullient Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux is a thrilling dance that showcases Balanchine's ability to evoke a world of romance with just two dancers and less than ten minutes of music. For Carnival of the Animals, Wheeldon, employing a scenario written by the actor John Lithgow, was inspired by New York's Museum of Natural History to create a delightful fantasy in which a young boy dreams that his family and friends have all been transformed into fauna.
