Jerome Robbins choreographed a ballet to this symphony in 1950 for the New York City Ballet. The choreography has been lost. The work was premiered at the New York City Center Theater in 1950 and showcased the artistry of Jerome Robbins, Todd Bolender, Francisco Moncion and Tanaquil Le Clercq. John Neumeier used the score for a ballet premiered by Ballet West in 1991. Liam Scarlett created another version for the Royal Ballet in 2014. References
