This opulent triptych was inspired by George Balanchine's visit to the famous jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels on New York's Fifth Avenue. With this first abstract ballet, he built an homage of enchanting beauty to the dance schools that had forged his style: Paris, New York and St. Petersburg. Each school is represented by a contrasting jewel: emerald, ruby and diamond.
Jewels offers a unique occasion to enjoy Balanchine's visually captivating work, as the Bolshoi is the only company authorized by the Balanchine Trust to film and broadcast his masterpiece.
The ballet stars Olga Smirnova, Semyon Chudin, Vladislav Lantratov, Anna Tikhomirova, Ekaterina Krysanova and the Bolshoi Corps de Ballet.
It has a run time of two hours, 5 minutes.
