New York City Ballet: All Balanchine I
About This Event
The New York City Ballet, founded in 1948 by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, presents All Balanchine I at the New York City Ballet. The program concentrates on Balanchine’s choreography, offering a focused examination of the company’s repertory and stylistic lineage within mid‑20th‑century American ballet.
About All Balanchine I
At New York City Ballet, *All Balanchine I* returns to the choreographer who helped found the company in 1948 with Lincoln Kirstein and built much of its identity. The program gathers Balanchine works that show how his approach—music-first structure, spare narrative, and classical line—became a house language in New York. In a city where many of these ballets first took root or were refined, the evening reads like a record of institutional memory. One clear takeaway is how the repertory still tests the company’s precision more than its display.
