The year 1976 marked the United States Bicentennial, which Balanchine chose to commemorate with Union Jack, a ballet set to traditional British melodies (adapted by Hershy Kay) that honored the historical connection between the United Kingdom and the U.S. Set in three segments, the ballet celebrates patriotic aspects of U.K. culture, with the full cast even spelling "God Save The Queen" en masse using flag semaphore. The first segment focuses on Scotland and pays homage to its renowned military

Georges Bizet was only 17 years old when he composed his Symphony in C Major, but it was lost for nearly 80 years. Balanchine got wind of the rediscovered piece from Igor Stravinsky, and in 1947 choreographed La Palais de Cristal for the @Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris on Bizet's work. One year later, Balanchine staged the ballet for NYCB's first performance, having refined the costumes and set design, and simplified its title to Symphony In C. The ballet instantly became one of NYCB's signature wor

By the 70's, Balanchine felt that the ballet's references to tsarist Russia were becoming tone deaf, so he el
