Eclectic NYCB III New York Performances

Eclectic NYCB III is a mixed-bill program performed by New York City Ballet, the company founded in 1948 by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein. Presented at the New York City Ballet, it sits in a repertory shaped by Balanchine’s plotless classicism and by the company’s long-running seasonal touchstones, including *The Nutcracker*. Like many NYCB programs, it reflects a New York tradition of treating the stage as a laboratory for new choreography and revivals. The result is a snapshot of how the company curates its identity across eras, sometimes with sharper contrasts than cohesion.
