About The Performance

A quintessential classic gives way to innovative new work.

A beloved Balanchine favorite joins two world premieres and a solo dance by Justin Peck on this program honoring the Company’s storied past while looking to the future. Originally created for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1947, Symphony in C, set to Bizet’s ebullient composition of the title, is among the most celebrated ballets of the 20th Century. Created in 2021 for the Company’s virtual Spring Gala, Peck’s Solo, a collaboration with Principal Dancer Anthony Huxley, makes its live stage debut. Completing the program are new dances by Gianna Reisen, who was the youngest choreographer in the Company’s history when she made her debut with Composer’s Holiday in 2017, and Kyle Abraham, whose first ballet for the Company, The Runaway, electrified audiences at its premiere in 2018.
