Featuring members and alumni of the Domingo-Cafritz Young Artist Program, this modern-dress production of Mozart's popular opera is not only filled with charm, humor and farcical invention, but carries a romantic and emotional undertone as well -- and sets it in D.C. Composed by Mozart at the height of his fame, Così fan tutte tells the tale of two military officers who decide to test their sweethearts' faithfulness by disguising themselves and attempting to seduce one another's lady loves. Performed in Italian with English supertitles, this acclaimed version is directed by Jonathan Miller, while WNO Music Director Phillippe Auguin conducts the score. Learn More

I make it a point to see the NYC Ballet whenever I'm visiting New York (and they're performing!) and I never miss them when they come to DC. They certainly didn't disappoint in this beautifully performed mixed program. I was especially surprised and delighted with my 8th row seat in the orchestra. Definitely worth every penny!Written on Mar 09 2009

Just INCREDIBLE. 2nd ROW SEATS! I was a little nervous that the seats would not be assigned until we arrived at the Kennedy Center but my friends and I were pleasantly surprised at where they placed us. We could see into the orchestra pit! The three short performances were a wonderful blend of contemporary and classical styles. A perfect introduction to ballet. The choreography was truly genius, the music spectacular, and the dancers sublime.Written on Mar 06 2009

Description
New York City Ballet
Peter Martins, Ballet Master in Chief
with the New York City Ballet Orchestra
With more than 100 dancers, New York City Ballet is the largest dance organization in America. The Company, co-founded by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, returns with its own Orchestra to perform three mixed programs.
Ballets by Balanchine are among those to be performed. Vienna Waltzes transforms from a sylvan forest glen and sassy dance hall to a glittering society café and majestic mirrored ballroom. Brahms-Schoenberg Quartet is a dance extravaganza in four elaborate movements, evoking what Kirstein once described as "a world drunk on wine and roses." Chaconne moves from a lyrical and flowing pas de deux to the spirit of court entertainment, with formal divertissements and bravura roles for the principal dancers. And Symphony in Three Movements is a large ensemble work of angular and athletic movement performed to Stravinsky's bold score.
Tipping its hat to the Kennedy Center's "Modern Masters of American Dance" celebration, New York City Ballet will also perform Jerome Robbins and Twyla Tharp's collaboration Brahms/Handel. This exuberant tongue-in-cheek ballet is filled with clever imagery, technical innovation, and an atmosphere of constant surprise.
