From the company:

LOS ANGELES BALLET PRESENTS AN EVENING OF BALANCHINE

FEATURING RUBIES, APOLLO AND SERENADE.

The Los Angeles Ballet returns with their summer program “An Evening of Balanchine,” featuring a unique showcase of master choreographer George Balanchine’s most revered and inspired ballets – Rubies, Apollo and Serenade.

The program celebrates three different eras of the legendary artist’s life and three different moods of his choreographic genius; the romantic and illustrious Serenade, the abstract story of Apollo, and the electric and jazzy Rubies.

In addition, the repertoire leverages Neary’s unique standing as a “Repetiteur” for the Balanchine Trust – a special distinction that makes her one of few in the world allowed to stage Balanchine ballets for professional companies.

Tickets for “An Evening of Balanchine” are on sale immediately by calling 310-998-7782 or by visiting www.losangelesballet.org. Performances take place May 24 and May 25 (7:30 p.m.) at UCLA’s Freud Playhouse; June 2 (7:30 p.m.) at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center and May 26 (7:30 p.m.) at the Alex Theatre, Glendale. Annual subscriptions are available from $59.50 to $161.50 and single ticket sales range from $35 to $95.
