Allegro Brillante is a ballet of grand gestures and a shining example of George Balanchine ingenious choreography. As with many of his works, there is no concrete plot to the piece, but Tschaikovsky's dramatic score guides the choreography, bringing romanticism into the spotlight, as seen with Principal Dancers Tiler Peck and Andrew Veyette. See Allegro Brillante on the La Sylphide program today and tonight, SEPT 29 mat & eve, with additional performances SEPT 30, OCT 2, 3: nycballet.com/fall. |

John Clifford on Instagram: "Here's Allegra Kent, Anthony Blum, and Basil Thompson, all when they were in the NYC Ballet in the early 1960's. This TV appearance on the Bell Telephone Hour, was choreographed by the great Matt Maddox. This is only a clip of the end, but it's an exhausting piece and Allegra has several short solos. The whole thing is on my YouTube and Facebook, and it's a lot of fun. It's very RODEO in flavor, but Allegra gives it a whacky sense of humor (watch how's she's put down
