New York City Ballet: All Balanchine IV

Johann Sebastian Bach — Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043 (part of "Concerto Barocco")
Sergei Prokofiev — Le Fils prodigue ("The Prodigal Son"), Op. 46 (part of "Prodigal Son")
Georges Bizet — Symphony No. 1 in C major "Symphony in C" (part of "Symphony in C")

Balanchine's ability to define music through dance, with infinite variety, marks all the ballets here. Concerto Barocco channels the delicacy and refinement of its Bach score through a pure-dance vocabulary that amplifies the music's power. The elemental, alternately driving and melodic music of Prokofiev became the basis for one of the choreographer's most dramatically powerful works, Prodigal Son, a retelling of the Biblical tale that is also distinguished for its designs by the great French painter Georges Rouault. And Bizet's endlessly scintillating score proved a perfect match for Balanchine's mastery of all aspects of classical technique in the enduring favorite Symphony in C. 

Performances on October 7, 13, and 15.
