Item Description

Bid to win two tickets to a Tuesday night Winter production of the New York City Ballet, dinner at Rosa Mexicano and car service to and from your train station.

The New York City Ballet, one of the foremost dance companies in the world, is an organization unique in the artistic history of the United States. Solely responsible for training its own artists and creating its own works, the New York City Ballet was the first ballet institution in the world with two permanent homes, the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, New York.

What is now considered the New York City Ballet was the idea of Lincoln Kirstein. He envisioned an American ballet where young native dancers could be trained and schooled under the guidance of the world's greatest ballet masters to perform a new, modern repertory, rather than relying on touring groups of imported artists performing for American audiences. When he met George Balanchine in London in 1933, Kirstein knew he had found the right person for his dream.

About dinner: Rosa Mexicano set a new standard for Mexican cuisine in New York when it first opened its doors in 1984. Playing a leading role in defining what was then a "new" cuisine to American diners, Rosa Mexicano delivers authentic Mexican cooking in an accessible, stylishly festive atmosphere.

Many thanks for the generosity of Lee Manning Vogelstein.
