New York City Ballet’s 2026 Fall Season will bring together landmark works, new commissions and significant revivals across four weeks of performances beginning September 22. The season opens with George Balanchine’s Jewels and continues with repertory by Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Christopher Wheeldon, and Alexei Ratmansky. At the annual Fall Fashion Gala on October 1, the Company will present three world premieres by Jennifer Archibald, Justin Peck, and Alysa Pires, created in collaboration with leading fashion designers. Support from Emily Blavatnik and the Blavatnik Family Foundation is making possible Peck’s new pas de deux, featuring costumes by Simone Rocha and an original score by Gabriel Kahane. The season will also mark the return of Balanchine’s rarely performed Pithoprakta, staged by Suzanne Farrell for its first New York City Ballet performances since 1969. It concludes on October 18 with a farewell performance honoring Principal Dancer Adrian Danchig-Waring after more than 23 years with the Company. Read the article here.
