New York City Ballet All Balanchine III New York Performances

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.
