This year is the centenary of George Balanchine's birth, and, in recognition, his company, New York City Ballet, staged a two-season festival, "Balanchine 100: The Centennial Celebration," which ran from November through last week. In fact, these two seasons were basically just regular N.Y.C.B. seasons, repackaged as a tribute. The winter season, called "Heritage," had to do with Balanchine's Russian and European roots, so that's when the company danced the older ballets, his own and those he learned from. The spring season, entitled "Vision," was a tribute to what he created for City Ballet, thus making room for later ballets, his own and those he influenced.
