LINCOLN CENTER

Koch Theater
New York City Ballet

A quiet, pleasant evening in a great venue.  There is light snow on the ground.

ALL BALANCHINE I
CLASSIC COMBINATION


  • Serenade
  • Agon
  • Symphony in C


Uncontested masterworks, these three ballets present vastly differing styles for a Balanchine experience that simply cannot be missed.
