Fashion and Glamour Take Center Stage at New York City Ballet Gala

The New York City Ballet's fall gala featured reimagined costumes for Balanchine's "Who Cares?" by Wes Gordon, but the outfits were criticized for being unflattering and garish. The addition of singers during the performance also distracted from the ballet's musicality. However, the evening ended on a high note with Jerome Robbins's "Glass Pieces." The fall season has showcased Balanchine's choreography, including the revival of "Bourrée Fantasque," which received praise for its humor and intricate footwork. The season also featured performances of Balanchine's "Jewels" with standout debuts by Emma Von Enck, Jovani Furlan, and Christina Clark.
