About

The Concert (or, The Perils of Everybody)

With Chopin’s music as its playful heartbeat, The Concert is one of Jerome Robbins’s most delightful comedic ballets. I’ve always loved how its cast of wonderfully quirky characters turns a formal piano recital into a cascade of mischief and laughter. Irene Sharaff’s original costumes are charming, clever, and iconic—filled with humorous hats, fluttering butterfly wings, and perfectly timed visual gags. Re-creating these designs is a genuine joy, and an affectionate tribute to her wit and artistry.
