MUSIC: Gabriel Fauré, Igor Stravinsky, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky Choreography: George Balanchine A full-length ballet in three parts, George Balanchine’s Jewels premiered at New York City Ballet in 1967. Presenting a miniature history of classical dance, Jewels references ballet’s French origins, Russia’s imperial style, and Balanchine’s own take on the art form. Critically acclaimed since its premiere, each act of Jewels is distinct in both music and mood. “Emeralds” is set to music by Gabriel Fauré, “Rubies” to Stravinsky’s Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra and “Diamonds” to Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 3 in D Major, Op. 29. Don’t miss Balanchine’s magnificent trio — a Boston Ballet Company Premiere. Jewels Run-Time: 2 hours including 2 intermissions
