Red Angels lights up the stage with Ulysses Dove’s razor-sharp choreography and Richard Einhorn’s electrifying violin score. This abstract work, set in a blaze of scarlet, is sleek, daring, and utterly arresting—an intense display of power and precision that pushes the limits of athleticism and artistry.

Created for New York City Ballet’s Diamond Project in 1994, Red Angels tests the boundaries of both the body and the senses. With four dancers performing in unison to Einhorn’s thrilling "Maxwell’s Demon," a solo for electric violin performed by Mary Rowell, the stage is set for a mesmerizing sensory experience. Dove, drawing on the speed and grace of the Balanchine aesthetic, sought to evoke the “angelic” qualities in the dancers while keeping the energy sharp and unrelenting. The result is a breathtaking ballet that marries striking visuals, fierce movement, and a score that’s equal parts art and rock 'n roll.

In Balanchine’s The Unanswered Question, a lone ballerina floats through a mysterious world, held aloft by the haunting, otherworldly music of Charles Ives. The second section of Balanchine’s Ivesiana, this piece brings Ives's complex, atonal, and at the time, groundbreaking score—marked by unusual rhythms and quarter-tones—into stunning movement. Through elegant choreography and a dreamlike atmosphere, The Unanswered Question explores the unanswered inquiries that linger in the silence, offering a captivating blend of movement and music that pulls the audience into an otherworldly, contemplative space.
