When: Tue 11th Apr 2017, 7:15pm
Ticket Price: £17.50

Running time: 2 hours 30 minutes approx. including 2 intervals, plus a 15 minute introduction.

COMPOSER: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
CHOREOGRAPHER: George Balanchine

George Balanchine’s evocation of the sparkle of emeralds, rubies and diamonds is a brilliant ballet classic. The French Romantic music of Fauré provides the impetus for the subtlety and lyricism of ‘Emeralds’, while the fire of ‘Rubies’ comes from Stravinsky and the jazz-age energy of New York. Grandeur and elegance complete the ballet with the splendour of Imperial Russia and the peerless music of Tchaikovsky in ‘Diamonds’. Jewels is a masterclass in the many luminous facets of classical ballet and indeed of The Royal Ballet itself: the virtuoso choreography of Balanchine, the intensity of the soloists and the precision of the entire Company.
