John Adams's 1999 orchestral piece Naive and Sentimental Music will be featured as part of the New York City Ballet's Opening Night Benefit performance in the newly renovated David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center tonight at 7 PM. Adams's Naive and Sentimental serves as both the score and title to a new work by Peter Martins, the company's ballet master in chief, to be performed by an all-principal cast. Also on the program are Alexei Ratmansky’s Concerto DSCH and George Balanchine's famed Rubies.
"New York City Ballet’s opening-night benefit was obviously planned by someone who threw away the Classic Guide to the Boring Gala handbook," says the New York Times's Roslyn Sulcas. "Put on your finery and go."
