It was not until I began to read and translate the silver wording that I discovered the following:<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewels_(ballet)"><b>Jewels</b></a> is a ballet from George Balanchine in three acts which premiered in 1967 in New York. Each ballet is represented by a gem:<br /><br /><b>Emerald</b>, set to the music of Gabriel Fauré, evoking Paris and Opera, birthplace of romantic dance in France.<br /><br /><b>Diamond</b>, is the classic Pyotr Illych Tchaikovsky and a hommage to <a href="http://www.balletmet.org/Notes/Petipa.html"><b>Marius Pelipa</b> </a>at the Kirov Ballet.<br /><br /><b>Ruby</b>, which is set to the music of Igor Stravinsky, recalls the dynamism and vivacity of musical comedies in NYC.<br /><br /><br /><br />Repetto<br />22, rue de la Paix<br /><br /><br />For more weekend reflections go to James' <a href="http://newtowndailyphoto.blogspot.com/2011/02/melted-snow-weekend-reflections-73.html">Newtown Area Photo</a>.
