New York City Ballet “Who Cares?”
What I saw last night. New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center. I have now seen Ocean’s Kingdom twice. It has not improved. “Le Tombeau de Couperin” is a complicated work where 8 couples remain on separate sides of the stage and create crazy patterns to Ravel. The last piece is a stream of Gershwin music where various dancers have the opportunity to shine in some times thorny steps.
I see they have streamlined the gift shop now into some kind of minimalist jewelry store with threadless style logos for the ballet t-shirts. I liked it better when it was like the remainders bin at the Strand but perhaps I am old fashioned.
