Ballet Masterworks: Balanchine’s Serenade
Serenade is a ballet by George Balanchine to Tchaikovsky’s 1880 Serenade for Strings.
Created in 1934 for students at his new School of American Ballet to teach stage technique and performance, it has become one of the most beloved ballets in the world today.
From the moment the curtain rises on the iconic image of seventeen women
standing still and serene in the moonlight to the last glimpse of their pointe shoes as the curtain falls, Serenade takes a gentle hold on our emotions and imagination.
Michelle Audet started her professional arts administration career as the Founding Director of New York City Ballet’s Education Department. Working closely with Balanchine, she designed and produced “Ballet for Young People” a performance presentation model that set the standard for dance education programming for students, teachers, and ballet-loving adults.
