The Tulsa Ballet has given the first North American performances of George Balanchine’s “Mozart Violin Concerto,” created by the late choreographer in 1942 when he was temporarily working in Buenos Aires. The staging of the ballet was supervised by Esmeralda Agoglia, an Argentine dancer who had worked at the Teatro de Colon and was able to restore the work from memory. The once-popular “Mozart Violin Concerto,” set to Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5 in A, fell out of the Teatro de Colon’s repertory in 1968 and has not been seen since.
