They are breezy, thoughtful, and at times dramatic and intense. With such beautiful music, it is easy to let the mind wander (as mine did several times throughout the performance), to lose yourself in listening to the music, which is exactly what Jerome [...]</p> Dancing american ballet theatre andrew veyette ballet chopin damian woetzel dance dances at a gathering definitive chopin gonzalo garcia jared angle jerome robbins julie kent music new york city new york city ballet nycb other dances reviews sara mearns sterling hyltin the concert Mon, 09 Jun 2008 06:32:17 +0000 http://www.aaaah.org/new_york_city_ballet_french_cuisine.html <p>Teresa Reichlen in Antique Epigraphs Admittedly, ‘French Cuisine’ was not one of the programs I was looking forward to most this season at New York City Ballet. I’m partial to Balanchine over Robbins, Tchaikovsky over Debussy, and plotless ballets over princes and princesses.

I heard plenty of snippets of gossip about dancers, and just as many opinions about their dancing. But the mood shifted ever so subtly when Peter Martins came on stage before the performance began.
