New York City Ballet Dancers Return to Summer Home in Saratoga

SARATOGA SPRINGS — An ensemble of New York City Ballet dancers graced the Saratoga Performing Arts Centerstage this week, presenting NYCB On and Off Stage, from July 14-17. 

Scheduled events featured insights and excerpts from iconic masterworks and story ballets like Apollo, Jewels, Firebird, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Sleeping Beauty, and Swan Lake. The intimate, up-close look at selected excerpts from the company’s extraordinary repertory of ballets this year represents a uniquely educational and more scaled-down approach than in previous seasons, due to the ongoing health and safety concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and safety guidelines.

SPAC and New York City Ballet have both confirmed that the traditional residency engagement with the full NYCB company will be presented in 2022 from July 12-16.
