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.
