MUSIC: Gabriel Fauré, Igor Stravinsky, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky Choreography: George Balanchine “It is open to doubt whether even George Balanchine has ever created a work in which the inspiration was so sustained, the invention so imaginative or the concept so magnificent as in the three-act ballet that had its world premiere at the New York State Theater last night.” – Clive Barnes, The New York Times, April 14, 1967. 19 Clarendon Street, Boston, 02116-6100. 617-695-6950.

Don’t miss Balanchine’s magnificent trio — a Boston Ballet Company Premiere. Jewels Run-Time: 2 hours including 2 intermissions. 19 Clarendon Street, Boston, 02116-6100. 617-695-6950.
