Jewels Tour Tickets
Purchase Jewels tickets today to catch the leader in abstract ballet. Jewels premiered in 1967 and was created by George Balanchine for the New York City Ballet. The ballet remained without a name for several weeks after its premiere, finally being called Jewels because of the three different acts, Emeralds, Rubies, and Diamonds, as well as the jewel-like costumes the dancers wear. However, Balanchine makes it clear that the ballet itself has nothing to do with jewels and leaves the performance open to interpretation.
Each act has a different composer. Emeralds, composed by Gabriel Fauré, recalls 19th-century dances of the French romantics. The crisp and witty second act, Rubies, was composed by Igor Stravinsky, one of the most popular composers of the 20th century. The final act, Diamonds, includes compositions by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and recalls the order and grandeur of Imperial Russia, where Balanchine trained.
In 2008, the Royal Ballet won two Laurence Olivier Awards, Outstanding Achievement in Dance and Best New Dance Production. The show took off after Balanchine’s death, and nearly all of today’s major ballet companies include Jewels in their repertories around the world.
