attended the Saturday evening performance for various reasons, the only difference in casting was the absence of Unity Phelan on Sunday. Since I witnessed the debut of Ashley Hod and Phelan in the same roles a while back, it would have been intriguing to watch the pair now in Agon. Divertimento from 'Le Baiser de la Fée' is on no account top drawer Balanchine; however, it is still an attractive and moving ballet.
