opening night of new york city ballet’s 2024-25 season

⋆✴︎⋆

last night, new york city ballet opened the doors for its 76th season. featured above are new york city ballet principal dancers tiler peck and chun wai chan, dancing a pas de deux from george balanchine’s tchaikovsky piano concerto no.2 (formerly titled ‘ballet imperial’). the ballet is a tribute to tchaikovsky, and balanchine’s teacher marius petipa. it was created even before city ballet was formed, choreographed for balanchine’s former company, american ballet caravan. it premiered on june 25th, 1941, at teatro municipal, rio de janeiro, as a way to show the world that american ballerinas could be just as refined and talented as their european counterparts. balanchine removed to allusions of imperial russia in 1973, giving the ballet its current title. another note — it was also chan’s debut in this role! merde!
