Balanchine: Three Signature Works
George Balanchine
With the Royal Ballet
In 2025, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels presents the program BALANCHINE: THREE SIGNATURE WORKS in collaboration with the Royal Ballet and Opera as part of Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels festival in London.
BALANCHINE: THREE SIGNATURE WORKS brings together three of the renowned choreographer’s major works.
In the early 1930s, when George Balanchine arrived on the shores of America, he changed the landscape of 20th-century ballet. Pushing the boundaries of the art form with extreme speed, dynamism and athleticism, he defined the American neoclassical style.
Serenade was the first ballet he created in the United Sates (1935). Its ethereal beauty is contrasted with the avant-garde Prodigal Son (1929), a parable of sin and redemption. Symphony in C (1947), with its symmetrical formations and crystalline placements, brings this programme to a majestic and exhilarating close.
