Yes, of necessity and up to a point. Any company that wants to present a Balanchine ballet to its audience and has the wherewithal to do so ought to: it does neither his legacy nor the world any good to lock his work up in a cabinet like a rare manuscript that can only be viewed by special permission in a climate-controlled room while wearing white gloves and a surgical mask.

“The Rite of Spring” was certainly the most controversial piece of orchestral music. The piece, composed by Russian Composer Igor Stravinsky, included lots of uncommon musical elements. But was it really that uncommon? The world-changing ballet was so controversial when it debuted in 1913, because it completely contradicted the common rhythmic and harmonic languages of most of the music of the time.
