Jul 23, 2021Nothing like an epidemic to make you appreciate there’s no place like the live theater. NYCB is poised to open its 2021-22 season on Sept. 21 with a special one-night-only program in celebration of NYCB’s first full-company, live performance in more than 19 months and includes George Balanchine’s classics: Serenade (which I’m positive will make me cry), and Symphony in C plus Christopher Wheeldon’s After the Rain Pas Deux.
Season highlights: World Premiere ballets by Sidra Bell and Andrea Miller at the Fall Fashion Gala on September 30; Justin Peck at the annual New Combinations Evening on January 27; Jamar Roberts on February 3; Pam Tanowitz on April 22; and Silas Farley, who will create a new work for the Spring Gala on May 5, as part of NYCB’s 50th anniversary celebration of the Company’s legendary 1972 Stravinsky Festival.
