DESCRIPTION:May 24\, 2026\nEven a world-class ballet company needs dancers 
 it can count on to never come down with the flu. The problem is\, they dan
 ce sensibly too. Or that’s what we assumed. At the New York City Ballet\
 , Megan Fairchild was cast in so many grueling neoclassical roles—in whi
 ch the feet do variations on twittering for longer than seems possible—t
 hat we came to think of her as “useful.” But the ballerina turned out 
 to possess a particularity that stretched beyond type. In Balanchine’s D
 ivertimento from “Le Baiser de la Fée\,” she cast her spell as an elu
 sive fée not by being the ballet equivalent of a manic pixie dream girl b
 ut from a self-reliance so entire that it shaded into unknowability. She d
 idn’t need her cavalier\, and she didn’t need us\, though she would gr
 ace us with her presence for a time. Twenty-five years\, to be precise. Fa
 irchild’s farewell performance takes place on Sunday afternoon\, May 24.
  For her send-off\, she will dance the titular role in Coppélia—a young
  woman playing a doll playing a young woman\, who emerges from the disguis
 e more real than ever. And she has.
