Review: JOFFREY BALLET AMERICAN ICONS at Lyric Opera Of Chicago
by Tina St. Angelo - February 23, 2026
The Joffrey Ballet is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. The current offering is called Icons. What a gift to the audience. I don’t know if Robert Joffrey had any idea what his company has become. Icons recreate 4 different ballets from different decades over the 20th Century....
