In 2020, in response to the performance cancellation due to the coronavirus pandemic, the New York City Ballet released a recording of Pulcinella Variations, filmed in 2018 with most of the original cast returning, except Mearns, Pollack and Angle, whose roles were danced by Miriam Miller, Emilie Gerrity and Russell Janzen.[5]
