Spring 2027

Spring 2027 commences with three programs spotlighting masterworks from founding choreographers George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. From Serenade’s breathtaking and resonant expression to Stravinsky Violin Concerto’s inventive partnering, Afternoon of a Faun’s poignant subtlety and Other Dances' sophisticated purity, these treasures have captured the minds and hearts of audiences for decades. Following these cherished classics, world premieres from Justin Peck and Tiler Peck, as well as the company premiere of Alexei Ratmansky’s fiery and fleet Fandango, centerpiece the six-week performance period. Moves, a daring Robbins creation scored solely by the sounds produced by the dancers themselves, and Oltremare, an emotional odyssey rich with brooding anticipation by Mauro Bigonzetti, make their returns after recent absences from the NYCB stage. The season concludes with two full lengths: Justin Peck's vibrant Copland Dance Episodes, set to a selection of Aaron Copland’s seminal compositions, and Balanchine's endlessly transporting adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream, a Shakespeare comedy translated with crystalline lucidity into classical dance storytelling.
