For more than five decades, we have mesmerized audiences with our sweeping repertoire, which spans from cherished 19th-century classics to contemporary show-stoppers.
We perform in the historic, 2,500-seat Citizens Opera House and reside offstage in a state-of-the-art facility headquartered in Boston’s South End.
The Company is comprised of 69 dancers of 11 nationalities, representing the highest caliber of international talent on our Boston stage. We present a broad repertoire, including timeless classical ballets, such as Marius Petipa’s The Sleeping Beauty, Rudolf Nureyev’s Don Quixote, Sir Frederick Ashton’s Cinderella, George Balanchine’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Mikko Nissinen’s Swan Lake, Florence Clerc’s La Bayadère, and John Cranko’s Romeo and Juliet; neo-classical ballets with masterworks by George Balanchine; and innovative contemporary ballets from choreographers including William Forsythe, Jiří Kylián, Wayne McGregor, Mark Morris, Christopher Wheeldon, and Boston Ballet Resident Choreographer Jorma Elo.
Boston Ballet School serves more than 5,000 students at locations in Boston and Newton, with programs designed for ages two through adult, at all experience levels. Boston Ballet School provides training for the next generation of professional ballet dancers, and the highest quality dance education for all.
