George Balanchine's Jewels Tickets

George Balanchine's Jewels is a landmark three-act ballet that encapsulates Balanchine’s signature neoclassical style. Created for the New York City Ballet and premiering in 1967 at the New York State Theater, Jewels is widely regarded as Balanchine’s first full-length abstract ballet. The work unfolds across three distinct movements—Emeralds, Rubies, and Diamonds—each set to a different composer and mood, showcasing stylistic contrasts that have influenced generations of dancers and choreographers.

As a performer page, we highlight the enduring legacy of Jewels across major companies and stages around the world. From Karinska’s elegant costumes to Peter Harvey’s original sets and later revivals by designers like Jérôme Kaplan, Jewels continues to evolve while preserving its core neoclassical spirit. The ballet continues to be a staple in company repertoires, celebrated for its musicality, architecture, and emotive storytelling without relying on a singular narrative.

Notable premieres and revivals have brought new design sensibilities to the piece, while preserving its three-part structure and musical integrity.
