Afternoon of a Faun is Robbin's exquisite response to Debussy's langorous Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faude; Tchaikovsky pas de deux is a bravura showpiece illustrating in miniature Balanchine's neo-classical style; and Acosta's Carmen, in which he also dances Done José in his farewell performance with the Royal Ballet, is a searingly dramatic reinterpretation of a timeless favorite --Container
