George Balanchine’s masterful full-length ballet Jewels opens our 19-20 Season next Tuesday. The plotless work features three distinct sections: Emeralds, Rubies, and Diamonds. The first evokes 19th century French romanticism, the second revels in the American neoclassical style, and the third embodies Imperial Russian classical ballet.
