    Fanfare (Choreography by Robbins/Music by Britten) -- Company Premiere
    Fanfare is Jerome Robbins' tribute to Queen Elizabeth II -- its premiere took place on the night of her Coronation in 1953 -- an enchantingly bright and goofy take on Benjamin Britten's "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra." This Company Premiere opens MCB's 25th Anniversary Season and celebrates the return of live music by the Opus One Orchestra!

    Bugaku (Choreography by Balanchine/Music by Mayazumi)
    George Balanchine's most erotic ballet, a highly stylized Japanese mating ritual, Bugaku was created at New York City Ballet on Allegra Kent and (MCB Founding Artistic Director) Edward Villella. One critic described it as having "the subtlety of Japanese painting on silk, the strength of Japanese wrestlers." Another how "The lovers stalk each other with expressionless hunger." A third critic suggested it might well have been called The Deflowering.

    Theme and Variations (Choreography by Balanchine/Music by Tchaikovsky)
    Set in a spectacular 19th-century ballroom to the soaring music of Tchaikovsky, this is classical ballet at its grandest. The cast is large, the costumes lavish, the dancing elegant and joyous with strong, bold leaps and sharp, crisp moves. Long recognized as a George Balanchine masterpiece!
