LINCOLN CENTER

Koch Theater
New York City Ballet



Concerto Barocco
The Goldberg Variations


Renowned for his impressively prolific Baroque compositions, two prominent Bach scores provide the setting for two of NYCB’s most prominent ballets.

Music by: Johann Sebastian Bach
Choreography by: George Balanchine
Principal Casting: 
One of Balanchine’s greatest masterpieces, Concerto Barocco is music made visible as two elegant yet dynamic lead ballerinas each depict one of the instrumental soloists in a virtuosic double violin concerto.

Music by: Johann Sebastian Bach
Choreography by: Jerome Robbins


A testament to Robbins’ unceasing invention, The Goldberg Variations is a choreographic tour de force that pays homage to Bach’s epic score by unifying the traditions of classical and modern movements in one monumental ballet.
