Loved the ballet. Swan lake, one of the most beautiful ballets ever. I was disappointed that they had broken it up into small ballets.

Being a regular of the New York City Ballet for many years has not made the experience less rewarding. Always beautiful and moving, this is a wonderfully talented company of dancers, choreographers and designers. Not every ballet is a favorite, but every evening spent with this company is joyful and satisfying.

Simply the best ballet troupe in the world, and continuing the legacy of Balanchine. New works are often excellent, and they continue to strive to be on the leading edge of dance.

There is no point in going to NYC and not seeing one of the city's greatest gifts to the world. Balanchine ballets are among the finest of all time. Immortal.
