London Tour: Jewels and 60th Anniversary Celebration

A French Romantic ballet that conjures visions of elegance, comfort and grace. Set to the haunting melodies of Gabriel Fauré, Emeralds is a tribute to the romantic ballet traditions of 19th-century France.

A New York Jazz-Age inspired work that epitomises the collaboration of composer Igor Stravinsky and choreographer George Balanchine. Set to Stravinsky’s Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra, Rubies is a sharp neo-classical piece featuring dynamic choreography and an atmosphere of old Hollywood glamour.

A lavish ballet that pays homage to the grandeur and magnificence of Imperial Russia. Accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s music, Diamonds recalls the era and style in which Balanchine himself was trained. Both grandiose and masterful, Diamonds is an extravagant finale to Balanchine’s great opus.
