Jerome Robbins’s Legacy of Anguish and Exuberance

New York Times: "THE choreographer and director Jerome Robbins, who would have been 90 on Oct. 11, died 10 years ago this July. This double anniversary is a cue for worldwide commemoration. “Gypsy,” the show he directed and choreographed in 1959, is again a hit on Broadway. A handsome Robbins exhibition, reflecting many facets of his career, is running until June 28 at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, at Lincoln Center. New York City Ballet’s spring season, starting Tuesday, will include no fewer than 33 Robbins works, ranging chronologically from “Fancy Free” (1944) to “Brandenburg” (1997). Other companies — from Seattle to Sydney, from San Francisco to Paris — have presented or will present Robbins programs during the year."
