New York City Ballet All Balanchine III
About This Event
At the New York City Ballet, the company presents All Balanchine III, a program of choreography by George Balanchine. Balanchine, co‑founder of the company, transformed and popularized ballet in America with a minimalist, often plotless approach that foregrounds musicality; the New York City Ballet sustains his repertory on its home stage.
About New York City Ballet All Balanchine III
New York City Ballet presents **All Balanchine III**, a live program devoted to the choreographer who helped define the company’s identity and New York’s place in 20th‑century ballet. Balanchine’s repertory has been anchored at this stage since the City Center years, shaping a local tradition that later settled at Lincoln Center. The evening is less a narrative than a study in structure: speed, musical phrasing, and the architecture of the ensemble. One clear takeaway is how Balanchine’s pared-down approach still tests a company’s precision.
