This year the Gala celebrated the repertoire of the Dutch National Ballet and that evening the Company danced the pas de deux from Christopher Wheeldon’s Tryst and Balanchine’s Stravinsky Violin Concerto.
As special guests New York City Ballet’s star soloists Philip Neal and Wendy Whelan flew to the Netherlands to dance the pas de deux from Balanchine’s Jewels. Manuel Legris and Aurélie Dupont from l’Opéra de Paris performed the pas de deux from Angelin Preljocaj’s Le Parc.
