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.

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.

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.

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.

Contemporary ballet often shies away from unabashed romance. Kyle Abraham instead leans into the love story.
