The Costumes of Jewels

Witness how the sparkling costumes of George Balanchine’s JEWELS bring this program to life.

The flowing skirts of Emeralds echo the section’s romantic inspiration, the striking red designs of Rubies highlight its jazzy modern flair, and the glittering white tutus of Diamonds honor the grandeur of Russian-style ballet. Whether it’s a swish of tulle, a flash of light catching a gemstone, or the costumes’ silhouettes accentuating the dancers’ movements, costumes and choreography unite to create a sense of magic that can only be experienced live.
