On Sunday the New York Ballet ends it s fall season with George Blanchine’s Ballet, “Serenade” for years the best Orchestra playing the ballet has been reserved for outside of New York but finally this is changing and has come to New York. Many Problems are listed such as costumes and fabric but that quickly diminishes to show how New Yorks Fall Ballet Season is bursting with talent.
Key Takeaways:
- For years, the best orchestral playing in American ballet has belonged outside New York; but this may well now be changing.
- Who remembers now that the fall season is a recent addition (2010) to the calendar? Eventful, busy, varied, it already seems a time-honored tradition. The current season — 28 performances, ending this Sunday — has featured no fewer than 28 works. (What other company can compete?)
- Any dance with so many soloists lasting less than half an hour is more than welcome; the company is heading for a period when it has more talent than it can comfortably present.
“The dancers havent always looked relaxed at his first accounts of these ballets- but its worth returning to see later performances.”
