New York City Ballet: All Balanchine

Paul Hindemith — Theme and Four Variations (The Four Temperaments) (part of 'The Four Temperaments')
Johannes Brahms — Liebeslieder Waltzes, Op. 52 (part of 'Liebeslieder Walzer')
Johannes Brahms — Neue Liebeslieder, Op. 65 (part of 'Liebeslieder Walzer')

Two strikingly contrasted Balanchine ballets compose this program. The Four Temperaments, a staple of the neoclassical "Black & White" repertory, changes moods, styles, and tempos as it emphasizes four different elements of the human psyche. Liebeslieder Walzer, danced to the Brahms songs of the title, performed by singers at the side of the stage, evokes a night of romantic magic as four couples move from formal ballroom dance to a mysterious nether realm where the couples' untethered souls collide and tangle and unite.

Performances on Feb. 6, 7, 16, & 17.
