“For me, dance is nothing other than affirming life when we meet in the theatre – life in its absurdity, its beauty, its sadness. There is hardly a metaphor that is more filled with energy than dance. Dance is the opposite of death.”
ANNA KISSELGOFF
“I don’t know about you, but it is impossible for me to listen to Bizet’s Symphony in C on the radio without visualising George Balanchine’s dancers in his ballet of the same name. The score would not even be played today if Balanchine’s choreography had not rescued this neglected symphony from oblivion in 1947. How typical of Balanchine to give the public at large a lesson in both music and dance appreciation.”
