Eight of the World’s Greatest Ballet Companies Six Distinct Programs An Unprecedented Event In 1948 George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein
founded New York City Ballet at City Center, New York. It was here that
Balanchine continued to develop his definitive style, which remains at
the pinnacle of modern ballet. Many of Balanchine’s iconic ballets from
that time had premieres at this historic theater. The thirteen different
pieces chosen for this unprecedented international tribute will be
performed by eight of the world’s greatest ballet companies, accompanied
by the New York City Ballet Orchestra.
Balanchine: The City Center Years will feature performances by American Ballet Theatre, Joffrey Ballet, Mariinsky Ballet, Miami City Ballet, New York City Ballet, Paris Opera Ballet, The Royal Ballet, and San Francisco Ballet.
The six performances are complemented by two special Studio 5
programs on October 25 and 29, and a special archival exhibition at
City Center. Balanchine: The City Center Years is part of New York City Center's 75th Anniversary Season.
