Jerome Robbins & New York City Ballet – NY Export: Opus Jazz

Music by Robert Prince

The first film conceived, created, produced and danced by dancers from the New York City Ballet, this modern-day narrative film adaptation of the 1958 Jerome Robbins’ ballet of the same name takes the original choreography (by the legendary creator of West Side Story) and returns it to the streets of New York in this abstract tale of disaffected urban youth set to a rousing jazz score. Shot on anamorphic 35mm on location all over New York City with a cast of dancers from the New York City Ballet.
