The centerpiece of the evening was the World Premiere of Jessica Lang's ZigZag, set to songs recorded by Tony Bennett, including the duet "It's De-Lovely" with Lady Gaga, with costumes by Wes Gordon (creative director of Carolina Herrera) and scenery by Tony Award Winner Derek McLane. Joining ZigZag in the Gala programming were works created in 2020 and 2021 during quarantined "ballet bubble" residencies, including Lauren Lovette's La Follia Variations, Christopher Rudd's Touché, and an excerpt from Darrell Grand Moultrie's Indestructible Light.
