Why See Pennsylvania Ballet - Jewels?

BalletDance & Ballet

Diamonds are a ballet fans's best friend!

Pennsylvania Ballet's 2017/18 season concludes with a stunning engagement of George Balanchine's gem-inspired ballet in three acts. Balanchine was inspired by the artistry of jewellry designers Van Cleef & Arpels, and chose music that perfectly reflected three entirely different dance forms, unified by elegance of the luxury theme.

Each section of the ballet is indeed distinct in both music and mood. Emeralds, which Balanchine considered "an evocation of France - the France of elegance, comfort, dress, [and] perfume," recalls the 19th century dances of the French Romantics. Rubies is crisp and witty, epitomizing the collaboration of Stravinsky and Balanchine. And finally, Diamonds recalls the order and grandeur of Imperial Russia and the Maryinsky Theater, where Balanchine was trained. Mary Clarke and Clement Crisp have written: "If the entire imperial Russian inheritance of ballet were lost, Diamonds would still tell us of its essence."
