ACT I Emeralds

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.

ACT II Rubies

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.

ACT III Diamonds

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.
