A stirring but not overly sentimental program curated by Adrian Danchig-Waring for his farewell performance included a striking new work by Pam Tanowitz, two towering Balanchine works and a Lar Lubovitch duet. 

An interesting mix of rarely seen and frequently revived Balanchine ballets at New York City Ballet.

New York City Ballet’s Contemporary Choreography I is a generous, exciting program featuring two new ballets that premiered at this season’s Fall Fashion Gala.

NYCB delivers first rate performances of three contrasting masterpieces from George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins in Masters at Work I.

Despite its gaudy sets and stretches of ho-hum choreography, Balanchine’s Jewels remains a triumph for New York City Ballet. 

Centuries after her beheading by her English cousin, Mary Stuart remains a potent symbol of Scottish exceptionalism and historical grievance. Weak production design weighs down Sophie Laplane's imaginative choreography for Scottish Ballet.  

Megan Fairchild pours her heart into her final performances of Coppélia at New York City Ballet.

Concerto Barocco and The Goldberg Variations make an unbeatable, timeless pairing at New York City Ballet. 

A triple bill including Tiler Peck’s newest ballet for NYCB, does not entirely work. Too much blue light and sadness for one program.

A longtime NYCB fan favorite, Concerto DSCH  by Alexei Ratmansky, meets the New York premiere of Christopher Wheeldon's Continuum. But the evening belonged to corps dancer Ruby Lister in Edwaard Liang’s Distant Cries.

A triple bill comprising Balanchine's Symphony in C, Agon and Firebird could not have been more inspiringly danced by New York City Ballet.

Jerome Robbins' Dances at a Gathering and George Balanchine's Diamonds make a study in contrasts. With lots of debuts in the former and seasoned leads in the latter. 

Roman Mejia and a raft of soloist debuts galvanized Peter Martins' Sleeping Beauty. An elegant production with some incidental messiness and the structural liability of a princess' dependence on a kiss.

New York City Ballet presents a very entertaining quadruple bill which includes Alexei Ratmansky’s latest work, The Naked King, showing off the company’s comic talents.

Never has Justin Peck seemed more compositionally assured, and paradoxically freer, than in his latest ballet, breaking the mold of past work that mostly celebrated the camaraderie of his generation. 

NYCB has a winning triple bill with its Balanchine + Ratmansky program. Excellent dancing and contrasting works sends the audience home in buoyant mood.

Some excellent individual performances but a disappointing program for Contemporary Choreography I with New York City Ballet.

A sublime Robbins-Balanchine pairing at New York City Ballet, it was Robbins’ Goldberg Variations that came off best.

New York City Ballet offered a few exhilarating moments in a mishmash of a program from the company with arguably the greatest rep in the world.  

NYCB's triple bill that harks back to the 1950s proves a love letter to an America that never was.

A slightly under par opening night at New York City Ballet but nevertheless, some strong individual performances.

A ballet about love transcending death – and also about two people who transgress gender and class boundaries. A singular achievement by Hong Kong Ballet arrives in New York. 

Balanchine's much-loved yet maddeningly disjointed A Midsummer Night's Dream returns to New York City Ballet. Some glorious performances on opening night, some uneven. But the night belonged to the bugs.

A joyful, very gracious finale for a highly respected and loved principal dancer at NYCB. Andrew Veyette bows out with dignity and humility.

When We Fell, Kyle Abraham’s bracing new piece for NYCB, made a minimalist statement on a maximalist quadruple bill, also notable for stunning ensemble work in Alexei Ratmansky's Odesa.

NYCB presents five short pieces to the music of Maurice Ravel in a bill that showed off some promising debuts.

New York City Ballet deliver an enjoyable, diverse, if occasionally predictable triple bill with revivals of works premiered last season.

Two masterworks by Jerome Robbins, Brandenburg and A Suite of Dances, are joined by Wheeldon's steamy After the Rain and Ratmansky's Paquita challenge.

A wonderfully varied triple bill for NYCB allowing the company to shine across all ranks.

The best performances of Balanchine’s Nutcracker are always the SAB children. Year after year, they capture not just the steps but the emotions behind Nutcracker.

Underneath, There Is Light was soothing, expansive and uplifting. One could see it becoming a regularly revived work.

An auditorium packed with former company members usher in New York City Ballet's 75th anniversary with George Balanchine's ornamental triptych. 

Concerto DSCH received a raucous reception during curtain calls. It’s a classic closer for an evening in that it sends everyone home happy. It doesn’t below as the middle ballet. Programming gods at NYCB, are you listening?

After the cancellation of New York City Ballet’s Nutcracker season in 2020, the warhorse to end all warhorses returns to delight holiday audiences. 

To celebrate its return to the theatre after lockdown, New York City Ballet pulled out all the stops with a triple bill of Balanchine's Serenade and Symphony in C and Wheeldon's After the Rain. The house went wild. 

Sofia Coppola's film closed on a note of optimism. The message seemed to be: “Normality is just around the corner. We’re coming back.” 

Alexei Ratmansky draws out exceptional individual qualities of each of five ballerinas in his intriguing world premiere for New York City Ballet, set to spoken word and live piano.

Ashley Bouder, Tiler Peck and Megan Fairchild were at the top of their game in a Balanchine triple bill at New York City Ballet

From the frivolous to the profound, New York City Ballet celebrates the galvanizing partnership of George Balanchine and Igor Stravinsky.

Judging by the enthusiastic audience reactions to this program one might have to rethink the modern/ballet divide. Maybe there’s only two types of dance – good dance and bad dance. 

Disappointing new creations in NYCB's Fall Fashion Gala, leaving Balanchine's Symphony in C as a surefire closer. 

Union Jack isn't a Balanchine masterpiece – it's more of a fun-sterpiece, which is even better.

Whatever your taste in ballet, this program probably had it: Wheeldon's DGV meets Balanchine's Door and a Sigh and Raymonda Variations. 

A sharp, well-drilled ensemble and heavenly Fauré, Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky couldn't adequately compensate for the mixed bag of principal performances and the outdated look of Balanchine's Jewels at New York City Ballet.

Yet the audience loved it, just as they love every performance of A Midsummer's Night DreamI've ever attended. This ballet is a tribute to Shakespeare, a tribute to love, a tribute to dance. One walks out feeling as if one's "soul is in the sky."

Ballets live and die by their scores – as Balanchine knew when he kept returning to Stravinsky. His Symphony in Three Movements will live forever, as will Justin Peck's The Times are Racing, to Dan Deacon's America.

Maria Kowroski and Tyler Angle at the top of their game in Diamonds. A smoking performance from Sara Mearns in Slaughter on 10th Avenue. Strong debuts from Emma Von Enck and Taylor Stanley and a memorable classical turn by Aaron Sanz in the Barber.

A triple bill of 21st-century ballets at the Koch Theater sees the return of Alexei Ratmansky's masterpiece, Pictures at an Exhibition. 

As the season closer, you want something like this that lets everyone have some fun.

An all Robbins program at New York City Ballet is one of my favorite things.
