An Evolved NYCity Ballet Returns To Chicago

It’s been 26 years since New York City Ballet has been to Chicago. The company has changed, and along with it the Balanchine repertoire at its core. “He [Balanchine] would find it anathema if this company became a museum of his works. He expected they would evolve and change. `In 50 years, my ballets will be completely different,’ he said. He didn’t see that as wrong.”
