The Concert (ballet)

The Concert (or The Perils of Everybody) is a ballet made by Jerome Robbins, subsequently New York City Ballet's ballet master, to Chopin's:

Prelude in B flat minor, Op. 28, No. 16

Prelude in A major, Op. 28, No. 7

Prelude in E minor, Op. 28, No. 4

Mazurka in G major, Op. posth. 67, No. 1

The décor was by Saul Steinberg, the costumes by Irene Sharaff and the lighting by Ronald Bates. The premiere took place at City Center of Music and Drama, New York, on Tuesday, 6 March 1956. Robbins made three subsequent ballets to Chopin's music: Dances at a Gathering (1969), In the Night (1970), and Other Dances (1976), made for Mikhail Baryshnikov and Natalia Makarova.
