Because everything is beautiful at the ballet - right now! Jewels is unique: a full-length, three-act ballet that uses the music of three very different composers. Balanchine turned a love of gems into a grand pyrotechnical display that distills the brilliant facets of the French, Russian, and American traditions. "Emeralds" moves at a mesmerizing pace, while "Rubies" is lightning fast, racing through Stravinsky’s jazz-inflected capriccio. "Diamonds", with its symphonic Tschaikovsky score, venerates the sumptuous nature of the Russian ballet as experienced by Balanchine in his youth.
