NYC

New Young Classic

Three Short Ballets from the Big Apple

An opportunity to enjoy contrasting ballets conceived and created in New York City. From works by the city’s hottest young choreographers, Larry Keigwin and Benjamin Millepied, to a Balanchine classic inspired by Gershwin’s legendary songs, this exceptional programme will excite audiences throughout New Zealand.

Balanchine’s Who Cares?* is a tribute to his friend George Gershwin. The title song is just one of many classic favourites - Embraceable You, That Certain Feeling, I’ve Got Rhythm - making this exuberant Manhattan ballet unmissable.
