Jerome Robbins’ Russian roots ran deep and this program puts them on abundant display.
Andantino is a lilting pas de deux suffused with the sweetness and promise of youth. It is a gentle beauty. In Opus 19/The Dreamer, set to Prokofiev’s 1923 Violin Concerto, one can hear the surging tides of the Russian Revolution as a male protagonist pursues an elusive search. Like Andantino, Piano Pieces was a hit of the 1981 Tschaikovsky Festival. Playful and joyous, it is filled with the unmistakable exuberance of the Russian character. Les Noces (Weddings) closes the program. A monumental work of genius, Les Noces is primitive, overpowering and raw ritual. Requiring massive forces, this is the first time New York City Ballet will fulfill Stravinsky and Robbins’ vision of Les Noces as it was originally conceived. It is the season’s must-see.
