George Balanchine's Jewels (Opus Arte)

This alluring, abstract ballet, a triptych in which each piece sparkles with the brilliance of a precious stone, is a lyric tribute to women and to the capital cities of the great dance schools.

yes, the Balanchine Trust has GOT to find a way to allow all of us ballet fans out there to see his wonderful work. Lucky for me, I live in New York City and can catch NYCB whenever i want, but what about everyone else??

Barbara Horgan has nothing better to do all day than to monitor youtube for Balanchine works so she can have them taken down. I can just hear here on the phone to the Trust's attorneys now (with her fake accent, of course) "There are still 48 seconds of Jewels posted that someone might be taking some pleasure from - get them taken down!! immeeeeedjiately!!!"

going to see this on thursday, so excited !!!!

Balanchine would have wanted his ballet on youtube to bring people to dance. Lincoln Kirstein, I think would also though you might have had to give him a few more reasons ...

@kdub10009 I agree. I don't know why on earth the Balanchine Trust can't sign up to you tube themselves.

The simplicity of excellence. George Balanchine Forever.

If I am not mistaken Karin von Aroldingen received the rights to more Balanchine ballets than any other dancer, due to the love and kindness shown to him by her and her little family. I don't know which ballets she received, nor how she is controlling them.

The first time I ever went to a ballet it ws NYCB doing that. Suzanne Farrell was in Diamonds, Patricia McBride was in Rubies. Susan Hendl was in Emeralds and so was...hmm

I just found out that certain company -nycb uses youtube to advertice but would not let anybody make comments....hubris? I am amazed that they forget that youtube was meant for people to have a dialogue, a progressive way for people to share inf. If nyc ballet does not want to hear the people comment why are they here? PEACE

Lovers of the dance, do not forget that there is plenty of ballet in youtube. check the vagonova's prix, and the french prix. It is just lovely to see those kids go for the gold.
