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.

Opening New York City Ballet's spring season, a quadruple bill of major and minor Balanchine eventually proceeded after protestors infiltrated the Koch Theater and created a diversion. 

Scenic designs left the most lasting impressions of a mixed bill at New York City Ballet featuring a world premiere by Justin Peck.

The whole evening had an excellence across four ballets that is a rare occasion. And it had a sui generis portrayal in Alexa Maxwell’s Novice. I would highly recommend seeing this program.

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.

An intermittently sparkling evening culminates in a thrilling explosion of art.

An uneven performance with mishaps and mis-pairings, yet still offering some outstanding individual interpretations.

New York City Ballet marked its 75th anniversary with the same triple bill that caused so much excitement at City Center in 1948: Orpheus, Concerto Barocco and Symphony in C.

An evening of George Balanchine’s joyous, kitschy send-ups, with clever parodies of Petipa ballets.

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

 The melancholy ending was a fitting farewell between ballerina and ballet. The heartmelting, beautiful Duo Concertant alone was worth the entire price of admission.

George Balanchine's ballet brings joy to audiences year in, year out. 

Partita has emerged as one of the stronger Peck ballets. If we see more Partita and less Principia, that’s a good thing.

Sterling Hyltin and Adrian Danchig-Waring are exquisitely self-absorbed in Jerome Robbins' Afternoon of a Faun.

A trio of audience-pleasing Balanchine ballets as a blizzard blows through New York City...

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

Several important firsts at New York City Ballet: two female choreographers; the first black female choreographer; the first collaboration between a female choreographer and female composer. But the longstanding practice of pairing choreographers with fashion designers continues to prove problematic.  

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

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

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."
