Choreographed by George Balanchine for the opening night of the New York City Ballet’s 1972 Stravinsky Festival, Symphony in Three Movements contains some of his fleetest and most densely patterned dance. The original cast featured Sara Leland, Marnee Morris, Lynda Yourth, Helgi Tomasson, Edward Villella, and Robert Weiss. Symphony in Three Movements is a large plotless ensemble work, startling in its breadth of energy, complexity, originality, and contrasts. Balanchine choreographed to the jazz flavor in Stravinsky’s 1945 score by using angular, turned-in movements and brisk, athletic walking sequences. Stravinsky is said to have written Symphony in Three Movements based on his impressions of World War II. | |||||||||||||||||||
