The second of four occasional programmes of ballets by George Balanchine , danced by the New York City Ballet.
Tarantella: A gay, extrovert, virtuoso pas de deux danced by Patricia McBride and Edward Villella.
Valse-Fantaisie: With music by Glinka, this is a perfectly polished miniature ballet, one of the swirling waltzes Balanchine creates so surely.
Pulcinella: Created by Balanchine in collaboration with Jerome Robbins for the Stravinsky Festival in 1972, this production belongs to the tradition of the commedia dell'arte and tells of the exploits of the immoral-lovable Pulcinella, played by Edward Villella.
Directors: Hugo Niebeling (Tarantella and Pulcinella); Klaus Lindemann (Valse-Fantaisie)
