A favorite in the Balanchine canon, George Balanchine’s Jewels is a triptych of dances evoking French (“Emeralds”), American (“Rubies”), and Russian (“Diamonds”) ballet traditions, inspired by the choreographer’s visit to the jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels. Miami City Ballet is famed for its dedication to Balanchine’s repertory, style, and technique, and returns for the first time in more than a decade to perform his seminal ballet.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
A famed American ballet company. An iconic twentieth century dance work. This September, Cal Performances kicks off its dance season with Miami City Ballet in George Balanchine’s “Jewels!” Join patrons at Zellerbach Hall to witness each captivating section of the 1967 neo-classical masterwork: the stately, elegant Emeralds; the spirited, sassy Rubies; and the grand, sparkling Diamonds.
