About Eclectic NYCB I
“Eclectic NYCB I” is a mixed-repertory program performed by New York City Ballet, a company founded in 1948 by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein that helped define neoclassical ballet in the United States. The evening places contrasting works side by side, treating the stage as a laboratory for structure, musicality, and shifting styles rather than a single narrative. NYCB’s repertory has long served as a New York proving ground for Balanchine’s legacy and for newer additions shaped in the city’s present tense. One clear takeaway is how the format makes the company’s range, and its institutional memory, visible.
