Serenade is a milestone in the history of dance. It is the first original ballet George Balanchine created in America in 1934, and is one of the signature works of New York City Ballet’s repertory. In its present form there are four movements: “Sonatina,” “Waltz,” “Russian Dance,” and “Elegy.” The last two movements reverse the order of Tschaikovsky’s score, ending the ballet on a note of sadness.

The velocity and aliveness of the dancing is breathtaking.

Pure genius - I was actually at SAB the summer of ‘73. I went to as many performances as I could. With Farrell gone, McBride & Mazzo were dancing a lot. Everyone was fantastic!

This is the first time that I have seen Serenade in its entirety (UK based), and it is absolutely GLORIOUS. Thank you for posting this.
