30 Years: NYC Ballet

Here, for the first time in a paperback edition, is the text of Lincoln Kirstein's The New York City Ballet, published in 1973, and now brought up to date with 120 new pages recounting the history of the company through the past five years—years that have seen the creation of major works by George Balanchine such as Union Jack, Vienna Waltzes, Chaconne, and Kammermusik No. 2, and that produced the Ravel Festival, for which both Balanchine and Jerome Robbins made works that have entered the permanent repertory; years that have witnessed the amazing artistic growth of dancers like Peter Martins and Merrill Ashley, the return to the company of Suzanne Farrell, the arrival of Mikhail Baryshnikov; years in which the quality of the New York City Ballet—and its acceptance by the dance public—has reached new heights., ISBN13: 9780394736150 ISBN10: 039473615X Material Type: paperback
