Highlighting the spring season are three full-length ballets, George Balanchine’s Coppélia and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Peter Martins’ Romeo and Juliet, which will return to the repertory for five performances, including a nationwide Live From Lincoln Center broadcast on Thursday, May 21.
The season also features 37 additional ballets, including world premieres by NYCB principal dancer Benjamin Millepied and Jiří Bubeníček, a principal dancer with the Dresden SemperOper Ballet.
In addition to Coppélia and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the season includes 20 works by George Balanchine, including a major revival of Scotch Symphony, which will feature a new set design by former NYCB principal dancer, and current ballet master, Karin von Aroldingen. Jerome Robbins will be represented by seven ballets, and the season will be rounded out with additional works by Melissa Barak, Douglas Lee, Angelin Preljocaj, Alexei Ratmansky, and Christopher Wheeldon.
