New York City Ballet's 2021 Digital Season

In advance of its planned return to live performances at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in September 2021, the New York City Ballet (NYCB) has announced its plan to create several new works and special programs for online release from February through May 2021.

The 2021 digital season will begin on Monday, February 22 with a three-part series called “Three Sides of Balanchine,” which will explore three works by the legendary choreographer that demonstrate Balanchine’s narrative, classical, and neoclassical traditions—Prodigal Son, Theme and Variations, and Stravinsky Violin Concerto. On Tuesday, March 9, NYCB will present a digital version of its Annual Luncheon benefit, which will celebrate NYCB Principal Dancers Maria Kowroski, Gonzalo Garcia, and Ask la Cour, who are scheduled to give their farewell performances with NYCB during the 2021-22 performance season. The digital season will also include additional all-new episodes of City Ballet The Podcast; six Ballet Essentials interactive repertory workshops for teens and adults; six Ballet Breaks movement workshops for children; six Signature Steps, one-hour ballet classes designed for intermediate and advanced level dancers; and twelve Access Workshops for people with disabilities—six for children and six for teens and adults.
