ON STAGE THIS WINTER // With an original cast that included Mary Ellen Moylan, Francisco Moncion, Tanaquil Le Clercq, Todd Bolender, Lew Christensen, John Taras, and other foundational Company members, Balanchine’s Haieff Divertimento debuted in 1947 on the Ballet Society, a precursor to NYCB. Despite its succinct, effective demonstration of Balanchine’s developing neoclassicism and playful score, the ballet went unperformed from 1996 until 2020, when it was presented onstage in the final performance period before the theater was forced to close for the pandemic. A delighted response from critics and audiences alike ensured its return this Season.⁠ ⁠ Enjoy Haieff Divertimento on the All Balanchine program, with Stravinsky Violin Concerto, Valse Fantaisie, and Donizetti Variations, JAN 17–19, 21 mat, 25, and 28 mat.
