NYCB Vol. 10 No. 5 - In The Night

Updated: Mar 29

Robbins’ "In the Night" is a collection of 3 duets and 1 ensemble movement at the end. Deborah Jowitt describes the ballet:


“The first duet (made for Kay Mazzo and Anthony Blum) is often airy, yet full of longing as if these two are discovering a love so wonderful that they can't believe it will last."


"The second man and woman (Violette Verdy and Peter Martins) are more settled […] Verdy said she thought of the duet as a happy marriage."


"The third duet [was] for Patricia McBride and Francisco Moncion. This couple is on the verge of a breakup. Their dancing is full of passion and artifice; they're being melodramatic for each other." —Deborah Jowitt
