My thanks to the folks at New York City Ballet for promptly sending me these Paul Kolnik photographs from the new ballets by Benjamin Millepied and Alexei Ratmansky which premiered at the Spring Gala on April 29, 2010. Above, from Benjamin's WHY AM I NOT WHERE YOU ARE, showing the Santiago Calatrava setting. Kathryn Morgan in the white dress, at left.
Another look at Ben's newest creation; costumes by Marc Happel.
NAMOUNA, A Grand Divertissement is the full title of the new Ratmansky ballet set to the Lalo score. In the above photo: Sara Mearns, Robert Fairchild and Wendy Whelan.
From NAMOUNA: front left are Robbie Fairchild, Wendy Whelan, Sara Mearns, Abi Stafford and Megan Fairchild.

Hurrah for images of last night! They are impossible to describe so one must see the photos or a performance to truly grasp the essence of the new ballets.
