Balanchine Extravaganza
868 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $39 - $99
Balanchine Extravaganza includes ballet masterworks from the 20th century by George Balanchine. As the father of American ballet, George Balanchine opened the eyes and ears of audiences to the marriage of music and dance. He famously said, “see the music, hear the dance.” The program celebrates that marriage of music and dance with three of Mr. B’s finest works at the Balboa Theatre, downtown San Diego, with his milestone Serenade – the first he created in America, the cheerful, but challenging Donizetti Variations and The Four Temperaments showing his lean angular style fused with classical steps.
