2024 Fall Fashion Gala

NYCB’s 2024 Fall Fashion Gala, a much-anticipated evening of dance and design, featured ballets choreographed by three distinguished women.

The performance began with the NYCB premiere of Gianna Reisen's Signs, originally created for the School of American Ballet's 2022 Workshop Performances, with costumes by NYCB's Director of Costumes Marc Happel.

New York-based choreographer and former BalletX dancer Caili Quan presented her first work for the NYCB stage, Beneath the Tides, with costumes by designer Gilles Mendel of House of Gilles.

Concluding the performance was Principal Dancer Tiler Peck’s first choreographic work for NYCB, Concerto for Two Pianos, which premiered this past winter with costumes by designer Zac Posen.
