THE NEW YORK CITY BALLET
"One of the most important dance companies in the world."
-The Washington Post

The 2010 Season of New York City Ballet at Saratoga Performing Arts Center presented by HSBC Bank USA N.A., July 6 - 17, will feature 16 stunning ballets including three opening week performances of Balanchine's full-length, story ballet A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. The classic work, based on Shakespeare's famous play, features elaborate sets and costumes and a cast of over 100 dancers including 27 children.

Other works on the 2010 program that have not been performed for Saratoga audiences in several years include: LA SOURCE which combines thrilling ensemble work with virtuoso pas de deux; WALPURGISNACHT BALLET which pairs Balanchine's elegant choreography with a passionate score by Gounod; Jerome Robbins' spirited FANCY FREE featuring Leonard Bernstein's score; and Balanchine's WHO CARES? set to George Gershwin's classic score.

New York City Ballet matinee performances start at 2:00 p.m. and evening performances at 8:00 p.m. in the Amphitheatre.

Kids are Free on the Lawn each night, except this year, our "American Girl Night" sponsored by Emma Willard School 7/14 is $5 for all children to benefit SPAC's Kids Education Program.
