Hurry over to the Academy of Music before Sunday to
check out the opening of their 50th anniversary season, George Balanchine’s Jewels. Inspired by the
artistry of jewelry designer Claude Arpels, Jewels
unfolds in three distinct sections – Emeralds, Rubies, and Diamonds – each with
its own music and mood. Emeralds evokes
the elegance of France, to the music of Gabriel Fauré.
The Dree II
by Badgley Mischka is a peep toe pump made of deep emerald satin, but the
wow factor is the embroidery on the heel.
Small gold beads, rhinestones in four different shapes (round, teardrop,
marquis, and—you guessed it—emerald)…this is a shoe that makes an impact. A
4.5-inch heel and .75-inch platform finish the look. Also available in black, white, and taupe;
your choice for $245 at Zappos.
Rubies is influenced by Balanchine’s experiences
in America. The jazz-inflected Stravinsky score sends dancers zipping through
the stage in Balanchine’s definitively neoclassical style.
The Hangisi
by Manolo Blahnik is a gorgeous ruby satin flat (well, almost-flat—it does
have a little heel). On its almond toe
is an elaborate frame of jewels—hundreds of tiny round sparkling stones! Fabulous.
Also available in black, blue, gray, pink, and white, so you’ll have one
for every mood! They’re $955 at Saks.
The grandeur and regality of Imperial Russia are
the inspiration for Diamonds, a nod to Balanchine’s own heritage, as is the
sumptuous Tchaikovsky score.
The Tiara
by David Tutera is a silver metallic leather pointed toe pump, bedazzled
with a string of rhinestones across the front.
Pears, rounds…these are shoes befitting a princess. Yours for $140 from DSW.
George
Balanchine’s Jewels has three
more performances—tomorrow at 2, and Sunday at 2 and 8. Go and celebrate the Pennsylvania Ballet’s 50th
anniversary with them in the most sparkly was possible!
