Dance Talk: Patricia Wilde, George Balanchine, and the Rise of New York City Ballet
Sun, Feb 26, 3 pm, tickets from $20
Joel Lobenthal, associate editor of Ballet Review and former chief critic for the New York Sun, provides insight into the life of Patricia Wilde, grande dame of ballet, and the golden age of the New York City Ballet. As a young star, Wilde toured America with Ballet Russe and was a first-generation member and principal dancer of New York City Ballet during the uniquely dramatic Balanchine era. Lobenthal brings us backstage into the world of Wilde and Balanchine, of Tanaquil Le Clercq, Diana Adams, Suzanne Farrell, Maria Tallchief and many others through some of ballet’s great triumphs and tragedies.
