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.

New York City Ballet dancing Balanchine's A Midsummer Night's Dream is the happiest way to end a long season.

Recent retirements within NYCB have resulted in uneven performances, but there is still hope for future spring programs.

New York City Ballet ends its Fall Digital Season with a festival of new choreography, including works by Justin Peck and Pam Tanowitz. 

Miriam Miller is the latest ballerina to stand out from the crowded field at City Ballet and she may well be the best at such a young age since Sara Mearns.
