PUBLICATION: Somewhere: The Life of Jerome Robbins
Fans of New York City Ballet and/or dance in general might be interested in the new biography of Jerome Robbins by Amanda Vaill. This volume, 675 pages long with black and white photos, was published in late 2006 by Broadway Books. Widely acclaimed by the critical press, the biography draws on thousands of documents from the choreographer’s private and professional papers as well as hundreds of personal interviews. The work takes the reader through the worlds of Broadway, Hollywood and ballet during a golden 50-year period of creativity. One reviewer described the work as “an epic biography—remarkable in scope and meticulous detail.”

NEW PUBLICATION: DANCER TURNS PHOTOGRAPHER/AUTHOR
October 2007 was the release date for a new book by first-time author Kyle Froman, an 11-year member of the New York City Ballet corps de ballet. Entitled IN THE WINGS: Behind the Scenes at the New York City Ballet, this 118-page, hardcover book features a foreward by Peter Martins, Ballet Master in Chief of New York City Ballet, and many color and black & white photographs with text by Mr. Froman. The work of two years, the volume takes the reader through class, rehearsals, training, preparation, injuries, and, ultimately, the triumph of performance in a way that only a dance-insider could. It is a very privileged look at the inner daily life of NYCB. Published by Wiley, IN THE WINGS can be purchased at the NYCB Gift Shop.
LINCOLN CENTER DINING EXPERIENCE
New York City Ballet ticket-holders wishing to have a pre-performance dining experience at the Metropolitan Opera's Grand Tier Restaurant or Outdoor Terrace and Revlon Bar may now do so. The Metropolitan Opera is just steps away from the New York State Theater and provides excellent views of Lincoln Center Plaza when it is at its most exciting--bustling with patrons on their way to wonderful performances of every type and variety. The Grand Tier Restaurant features creative contemporary American cuisine. The Outdoor Terrace and Revlon Bar offer sushi, paninis and a full beverage service that is perfect for light, casual dining. Click HERE for more information on the Grand Tier Restaurant or call 212-799-3400 to make reservations. Click HERE for more information on the Outdoor Terrace and Revlon Bar. No reservations are necessary for the Outdoor Terrace and Revlon Bar. Important Note: Dining at these restaurants opens two hours before the curtain time of that day's performance at the Metropolitan Opera. Curtain times and performance days are different at all of Lincoln Center's constituents. It is important to coordinate the curtain time at your NYCB performance with when you may or may not be able to secure a reservation at these restaurants. For example, the Metropolitan Opera is traditionally closed on Sundays.
