🔥 4 world premieres

🎭 2 company premieres

💎 41 beloved works from the repertoire

The season opens on September 16 with a tribute to legendary choreographer George Balanchine, featuring three of his masterpieces: Donizetti Variations, Ballade, and a special one-act version of Swan Lake.

Must-See Highlights:

👗 Fall Fashion Gala (October 8) – A dazzling fusion of fashion and dance, featuring the world premiere by Jamar Roberts, costumes by Iris van Herpen, and works styled by Virgil Abloh and Gianni Versace.

🎨 Justin Peck Takes the Spotlight! – Heatscape (making its NYCB debut on September 26) showcases urban art by Shepard Fairey, while a brand-new Peck creation arrives in January.

🌟 More Electrifying Premieres! – Alexei Ratmansky (February) and Tiler Peck (May) present fresh choreography, with Tiler’s second work for the company debuting at the Spring Gala (May 7).

❄️ The holiday classic The Nutcracker returns from November 28 to January 4, alongside Swan Lake and the revival of The Sleeping Beauty—a golden season for Tchaikovsky!

💃 Balanchine Meets Broadway – A special program featuring Square Dance and Western Symphony, blending Vivaldi with Americana melodies.

🎼 Rarities & Revivals – For the first time in 70 years, Symphonie Concertante (last performed in 1952) returns to the stage, alongside the enchanting Firebird (with designs by Marc Chagall) and the company premiere of Christopher Wheeldon’s Continuum.

💔 A Bittersweet Finale – The season closes with the whimsical (and slightly eerie) tale of Coppélia, as Principal Dancer Megan Fairchild bids farewell to the stage in the role of Swanilda (May 24).
