A New York City Ballet season is unlike any other. “This quantity alone should be the envy of the dance

world, but it is also of a quality unmatched anywhere.” – The New York Times

Like the photography within these pages, dance is every bit a visual medium as it is a performing art.

Our works are living, with a beauty that is fleeting and of the moment. They breathe and sweat—mere gestures touch to the core.

Driven by music and the innate desire to move, we guard and honor the masterpieces that came before us,

and take inspiration from them to create the new.

Each piece is curated in a single frame – the proscenium arch – within a gallery revered as the house that Balanchine built.

The combination of music and movement may be the highest form of art.

But to us it is simply life’s existence.

The New York Times has lauded the “unequaled richness” and “terrific density of New York City Ballet’s repertory,” and the 2014–15 Season stands up to this praise with 56 ballets, featuring a Balanchine Black & White festival, two iconic Shakespeare full-lengths, and an impressive seven premieres including La Sylphide. Celebrat-ing our rich musical legacy and named after Founder George Balanchine’s famous quote “See the music and hear the danc-ing,” new Hear the Dance programs focus on composers of the same national origin, offering a framed perspective for exploring our extensive repertory.

The season opens with the 2014 Fall Gala, highlighting the Company’s unwavering commitment to creative innovation with new works from NYCB’s own Justin Peck and

Troy Schumacher and The Royal Ballet’s Liam Scarlett, along with guest costume designers from the fashion world. Only a week later, a fourth world premiere will arrive on stage from Alexei Ratmansky.

Nowhere are Balanchine’s ballets performed with the authority of the NYCB dancers, and 14 fall performances on three programs are devoted to his treasured repertory.

Four additional programs complete the fall, including encore performances of the Spring 2014 collaboration from Peck and Sufjan Stevens, the NY premiere of Ballet Master and former Soloist Jean-Pierre Frohlich’s Varied Trio, and the NYCB farewell performance of beloved Principal Dancer Wendy Whelan.

Apollo — Monumentum pro Gesualdo — Movements for Piano and Orchestra — Duo Concertant — Agon

The pairing of Balanchine and Stravinsky forged one of the

most prolific artistic collaborations in history, producing

works that demand to be viewed over and over. Their first,

Apollo, depicts the young god as he is inspired into adulthood

by the muses of poetry, mime, and dance. Although created

separately, Monumentum pro Gesualdo and Movements

for Piano and Orchestra have been coupled since 1966, the

former arresting with its simple beauty and refinement and

the latter sweeping on a wave of exacting precision. Set to

onstage piano and violin accompaniment, Duo Concertant is

a lively dance for two, ending with a poignant play on light

and shadow. A landmark work that has long been consider-

ed a masterpiece, Agon remains ever contemporary in its

athletic competitiveness.

Donizetti Variations (Donizetti) — La Sonnambula (Rieti, themes by Bellini) — Firebird (Stravinsky/Balanchine, Robbins)

Balanchine’s inspirations were profoundly diverse and these

three ballets show the breadth of his creative mastery. Feats

of bravura dancing take center stage in the exhilarating

Donizetti Variations. Deceit, desire, and death shadow

La Sonnambula's aristocratic masked ball, haunting with

the image of a beautiful sleepwalker. Dressed in Chagall’s

exquisite sets and costumes, Firebird illustrates an enchant-

Serenade — Mozartiana — Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux — Tschaikovsky Suite No. 3

Balanchine adored the legendary Russian composer, once

saying, “In everything that I did to Tschaikovsky’s music,

I sensed his help.” Serenade, the first ballet Balanchine

choreographed in America, is a timeless piece that evokes a

solemn spirituality. Mozartiana’s prayerful opening will touch

your heart and the succeeding theme and variations is pure

exhilarating elegance. Set to music originally composed for

Swan Lake, Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux is a brief, beautiful, and

beloved rush of adrenaline. Tschaikovsky Suite No. 3 begins

on a romantic note and swells with ardor in each movement,

culminating in a magnificent finale.

Together Balanchine and Robbins created a repertoire that

remains the standard for choreographers worldwide. Known

for his love of all things American, Balanchine distilled square

dancing to fit his neoclassical minimalism, retaining its

effervescent joy in Square Dance. Based on Hans Christian

Andersen's charming fairytale, The Steadfast Tin Soldier

finds bittersweet romance between a paper doll ballerina

and a smitten toy soldier. The eight couples of Le Tombeau

de Couperin delight with their symmetrical patterns and play-

ful interactions, and The Concert, a one-of-a-kind comedic

ballet, concludes with a cast of quirky characters and their

laugh-out-loud antics.

A diverse selection to satisfy every desire, classics by

from the new generation. Chaconne is by turns elegiac and

courtly, beginning with a dreamlike prologue and concluding

with a grand series of classical dances, while Interplay is

distinctly American and youthful in spirit. Wheeldon’s land-

The winter begins with a power packed program featuring three Balanchine masterworks, soon followed by another all- Balanchine program of cherished ballets, each with its own unique tone. Both programs will be featured on our January 24 Saturday at the Ballet with George annual event, a full day of activities and performances celebrating our founder.

Supporting our tradition of new choreogra-phy, this year’s New Combinations program features a world premiere by Soloist Justin Peck, who contributes an astounding eighth ballet for the Company in less than four years.

Last performed in 2008 and required viewing for dance aficionados, Robbins’ The Goldberg Variations makes a welcome appearance alongside another Bach must-see, Concerto Barocco. After a ten year absence, Balanchine’s two-act story ballet Harlequinade also returns to the repertory, bringing along its larger-than-life characters and one-of-a-kind humor.

Rounding out the winter is Peter Martins’ Romeo + Juliet, just in time for Valentine’s Day, as well as Hear the Dance programs focusing on America, Germany, Italy, and Russia.

Serenade (Tschaikovsky) — Agon (Stravinsky) — Symphony in C (Bizet)

Uncontested masterworks, these three ballets present

vastly differing styles for a Balanchine experience that

simply cannot be missed. Originally crafted as a train-

ing exercise for the School of American Ballet and now

performed by companies the world over, Serenade is a

romantic work of immense sweep with a transcendent score.

A wonder of propulsive angularity, the Black & White ballet

Agon balances structural symmetry with choreographic

ingenuity. Symphony in C concludes, a classical ballet

that sparkles with over 50 dancers covered in Swarovski

elements and a spectacular finale with the full cast onstage.

Symphonic Dances (Rachmaninoff/Martins) — The Cage (Stravinsky/Robbins) — Andantino (Tschaikovsky/Robbins) — Cortège Hongrois (Glazounov/Balanchine)

Despite the bitter climate, Russia has long been a hotbed

of great composers. Grounded by Rachmaninoff’s color-

ful melodies, Symphonic Dances (last performed in 2003)

alternates between powerful ensemble sections and wistful

pas de deux for its lead couple. The Cage plunges into the

world of natural selection, using Stravinsky’s daring score to

depict the feral instinct compelling the female of an insect

species to consider its male counterpart as prey. Set to the

lilting second movement of Tschaikovsky’s Piano Concerto

No. 1, Andantino is infused with a sense of sweetness

and unforced drama. Mirroring Glazounov’s melding of

nationalistic and classical idioms, Cortège Hongrois

develops from a folk-stylized processional to a classical

grand pas de deux.

Donizetti Variations (Donizetti) — La Valse (Ravel) — Chaconne (Gluck)

Drawn from over 400 works in the Balanchine canon, to-

gether these three ballets are ever more impactful for their

individual uniqueness. The cheerful 26-minute Donizetti

Variations sets a series of effervescent dances to music

from the opera Don Sebastien, offering choice but techni-

cally challenging roles for two bravura dancers and three

supporting trios. Within a cavernous ballroom, La Valse

presents a young woman at once horrified and fascinated

by her own vanity, seduced by the figure of Death. A work of

contrasting styles, Chaconne’s lyrical opening occurs as if

in a drift of clouds, giving way to classical divertissements

that build to a grand finale.

Concerto Barocco (Balanchine) — The Goldberg Variations (Robbins)

Renowned for his impressively prolific Baroque compositions,

two prominent Bach scores provide the setting for two

of NYCB’s most prominent ballets. One of Balanchine’s

greatest masterpieces, Concerto Barocco is music made

visible as two elegant yet dynamic lead ballerinas each

depict one of the instrumental soloists in a virtuosic double

violin concerto. A testament to Robbins’ unceasing invention,

The Goldberg Variations is a choreographic tour de force that

pays homage to Bach’s epic score by unifying the traditions of

classical and modern movements in one monumental ballet.

Balanchine founded New York City Ballet as a creative

institution where the vast majority of works are created on

its own dancers, and each winter we honor this guiding

principle with a program featuring a world premiere. As the

centerpiece, Soloist Justin Peck will craft his own interpre-

tation of Aaron Copland’s iconic Americana score Rodeo.

Completing the program are Alexei Ratmansky’s fall pre-

miere, his fifth ballet for the Company, and Christopher

Wheeldon’s 2000 Mercurial Manoeuvres, which transforms

Shostakovich’s first piano concerto into a rapidly-changing

kaleidoscope.

Hallelujah Junction (Adams/Martins) — A Place for Us (Previn, Bernstein/Wheeldon) — The Goldberg Variations (Bach/Robbins)

Returning after a seven-year hiatus, The Goldberg Variations

is preceded by two acclaimed contemporary works for

one night only. Hallelujah Junction, one of Martins’ most

popular works, sends its dancers across the stage in waves

punctuated by the gently hovering pas de deux at its

center. Wheeldon’s A Place for Us highlights the inter-

personal charisma of its two dancers who at one point dart

around and interact with shifting patterns of light. Robbins’

take on The Goldberg Variations pays homage to the

architectural keyboard score of its namesake, seamlessly

transitioning from formal dance and gesture to modern

movements and attire, and then inversing the relationship.

American music provides the springboard for an energiz-

ing program. Hallelujah Junction is a living locomotive of

driving energy, set to a pulsing John Adams score played

by two onstage pianists. Danced beside onstage clarinet

and piano accompaniment, A Place for Us finds its two

dancers in a playfully spontaneous pas de deux, then

Interplay’s young dancers take part in lighthearted competi-

tion as they revel in the exuberant but cool melodies of the

ballet's jazz-infused score. Expansive in scope and stream-

metropolitan life with its charged, urban choreography.

Two outwardly disparate Balanchine works are united on

American folk dance and classical ballet for Square Dance.

At the opposite end of the spectrum is Harlequinade, a

Our final weeks of the season kick off with a festival of Balanchine’s Black & White ballets, including 11 performances of these streamlined marvels. While individually performed elsewhere, only at New York City Ballet can you see 12 of these iconic ballets in such a short span of time.

The 2015 Spring Gala will be cause for cel-ebration indeed as the Company premieres Ballet Master in Chief Peter Martins’ staging of Bournonville’s La Sylphide, an opportunity for audiences to view one of the great roman-tic story ballets on the NYCB stage. Paired on the occasion is Bournonville Divertissements, aptly returning for the first time since 1999 for an immersive Bournonville experience.

The diverse spring repertory includes pop-ular works, such as West Side Story Suite and Symphony in C, as well as ballets seen less frequently, Balanchine’s Sonatine pas de deux and Martins’ boldly rhythmic Symphonic Dances, on programs ranging from Founding Choreographer favorites to evenings of contemporary choreography.

Bringing the 2014-15 Season to a festive conclusion is Balanchine’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, its magic and wonder the perfect send-off for the summer.

Monumentum pro Gesualdo (Stravinsky) — Movements for Piano and Orchestra (Stravinsky) — Concerto Barocco (Bach) — Episodes (Webern) — The Four Temperaments (Hindemith)

Ranging from understated classicism to the bold and con-

temporary, these five works comprise some of Balanchine’s

earliest Black & White ballets. Though similar in structure and

brevity, Monumentum pro Gesualdo is known for its plush

refinement while Movements for Piano and Orchestra excels

with calculated attack. One of his first masterpieces, Concerto

Barocco is the dance distillation of its elegant and colorful

Bach score. Perhaps the most avant-garde, Episodes uses

Webern's edgy tones as the basis for a series of four arresting

scenes. Referencing the medieval concept of psychological

humors, The Four Temperaments is classically grounded but

definitively modern movement.

Spanning more than four decades, Black & White II begins

with the first work in Balanchine’s new style and ends with

two of his last – all to music by Stravinsky. A sensation at its

premiere and an international success, Apollo represents

Balanchine’s artistic coming of age. For Agon, the two

consulted on every detail from musical timings to the basic

movements, resulting in an encounter with extreme

athleticism that was way ahead of its time. Alternating

buoyant dancing with restful passages, the dancers in Duo

Concertant stop to listen to the musicians onstage before a

dramatic scene with a lone circle of light. Bold and breath-

takingly jet-propelled, Symphony in Three Movements is a

kinetic achievement, striking for its confidence and power.

Balanchine's Black & White ballets are anything but one-

streamlined style. Balanchine layered classical ballet over

square dancing to illustrate a shared regard for order and

high spirits in Square Dance. Le Tombeau de Couperin is

a favorite amongst the corps de ballet as they cheerfully

perform in unison and mirror opposites. The outer sections

of Stravinsky Violin Concerto are carefully-woven master-

pieces of symmetry that peel away to reveal two of

Balanchine's most ingenious and unique pas de deux.

Walpurgisnacht Ballet (Gounod) — Sonatine (Ravel) — La Valse (Ravel) — Symphony in C (Bizet)

From colorfully impressionistic to bright and precise,

Balanchine was drawn to impassioned French music.

Walpurgisnacht Ballet is a rippling of neoclassical

choreography, ending with a surging climax that sends its

ballerinas soaring across the stage. More demure is the

refined simplicity and emotional interactions of the rarely-

seen Sonatine, evoking the elegance of the French artists

on which it was made. In his notes on La Valse Ravel wrote,

"We are dancing on the edge of a volcano," and Balanchine

fashioned a moody and mysterious world to compliment the

composer's seductive melodies. Upon discovering a long-lost

Bizet score, Balanchine took only two weeks to choreograph

the neoclassical masterpiece Symphony in C, which dazzles

with dozens of dancers.
