For the first time in Carolina Ballet's history, we present the entirety of George Balanchine's Jewels. Distinguishing a precedent for works of its kind, Jewels glistens classical ballet through a prism of three distinct visions. In Emeralds, we enter a world of lyrical elegance set to Fauré. Rubies brings a burst of energy and wit through Stravinsky's vibrant score, while Diamonds, set to Tchaikovsky, reflects the grandeur and tradition of classical ballet. Together, these three movements form a dazzling tribute to the many facets of dance. Featuring Live Music. Program: Jewels Choreography by George Balanchine Emeralds Music by Gabriel Fauré Rubies Music by Igor Stravinsky Diamonds Music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
