The company’s third Tour-de-Force gala-style program of classical and contemporary ballets includes audience favorites and masterworks from the canon, star-turns by The Washington Ballet’s international dancers and displays of virtuosity. The program’s centerpiece is George Balanchine’s iconic Serenade, his first ballet in the US. It is one of his signature works. A romantic work of immense sweep, it is set to Tchaikovsky’s transcendent Serenade for Strings in C.
