Notably, there was Igor Stravinsky's ritualistic mosaic of a Russian peasant wedding, Les Noces, which the Royal Ballet gave earlier in the for mal, restrained version by Bronislava Nijinska. Last week the Ballet Theater showed off Jerome Robbins' dazzling choreography for it in a vigorous, soulful ensemble tour de force. The Americans also drew 17 curtain calls when they unveiled Eliot Feld's Harbinger, a lively and neatly dovetailed abstraction set to Prokofiev's Fifth Piano Concerto...
