Under Artistic Director Roy Kaiser, Pennsylvania Ballet has expanded its Balanchine-based repertoire to include bold, innovative new works that embody creative excellence and engage audiences in an ongoing commitment to the vitality of this unique art form. The 2010-2011 Season features three eclectic repertory programs, two classic full-length ballets, and the critically-acclaimed production of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker™. World premieres by Choreographer in Residence Matthew Neenan and New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Benjamin Millepied will augment the repertoire, as will Company premieres from William Forsythe, Roland Petit, and Christopher Wheeldon. The Company will also present Wheeldon’s Swan Lake, handmade for its 40th Anniversary Season.

Pennsylvania Ballet is one of the premier ballet companies in the United States and has been at the forefront of American dance since 1963.

A leading Philadelphia cultural institution, the Company has earned a national reputation for its impassioned artistry and technical virtuosity, and has received widespread critical acclaim for extraordinary performances from an increasingly diverse repertoire.
