Emeralds
The genius of the great Russian-born choreographer, George Balanchine, has never blazed more brightly than in Emeralds, Act 1 of his famous full evening ballet Jewels. Emeralds is a representation of French elegance, considered “an evocation of France – the France of elegance, comfort, dress, perfume,” recalling the 19th century dances of the French Romantics.

George Balanchine (1967)
Music
Pelléas et Mélisande (1898) and Shylock (1889) by Gabriel Fauré
