New York City Ballet Tickets

As always the ballet was amazing. I go every year with my mom and we are never disappointed. The only thing that disappointed us was the incredibly short season this year. Most years the NYC Ballet is in Saratoga all of July- this year only two weeks...definately didn't cut it! We usually go three or so times- this year we only got to go once. Very disappointing- but the performance was amazing as always.

fabulous performance, lovely venue, charming town. I'll be back for more!

Balanchine's Coppelia was a delight. Having seen it 35 years ago, I could see how this cast interpreted the intricate choreography. The children in pink delighted the audience and were very well rehearsed. The soloists were precise and the two leads gave praiseworthy performances save one lift that showed the male danseur struggling to keep his ballerina aloft. Robert LaFosse, a crowd favorite "back in the day" played Dr. Coppelius. Can't wait for next year. Good work, Mr. Martins!

We enjoyed this ballet so much. Everything from set to costumes, to dancers were spectacular. The skill of the dancers was amazing.

This was a medley of three ballets. They were all very different and interesting. The company looked strong and beautiful. Swan Lake is always touching and watching so many swan ballerinas dancing in sync is stunning.

Megan Fairchild was tops and the ballet school of Saratoga dancers really added to the performance. They were an add on to Coppelia but well worth it.

From the scenery to the cast, the whole ballet looked like it was put on effortlessly. It was truly enjoyable for me and my entire family.

The audience of mostly young girls and mothers, groups of young ballerinas, even families with very young children were rapt. The ballet was lively, funny, and colorful. It made the traditional form quite acessible for younger children. The sets were an expressionistic cartoon, full of quirky but not too distracting images. The costumes were vivid and adorable. The village dances were fascinating to watch. They were balletic, yet included some authentic folk dance styles. The young girls at the end were like the frosting on the cake. They were a adorable. I saw so many little girl audience members literally dance home from the event. SPAC was the perfect venue for this event. It was famly friendly with lots of space to dance around between acts. The weather was also excellent.

Incredible! City Ballet's Coppelia is simply beautiful.

Excellent performance and beautiful show of fireworks at the end. We loved choreography, flexibility of the performers and the music played by the orchestra. The beer is kind of expensive at n i n e per cup, but they have to make money, so feels normal. We would definitely go back again. Despite the 3.5 hr drive it was worth it all the way.

Megan Fairchild was a joy to watch. the whole performance was lively and fresh. the mazjurka in Act I made me wish I could get up and join the company. The looked like they were having so much fun. The young dancers in Act III were great. I felt sorry for the adult dancers having to compete with them.

NYCB production of Coppelia was really great...everyone gave it their all....sorry for people sitting on lawn in pouring rain...Spac should really put up tents or something for those people when weather is that bad...the costumes and sets were good...and the young dancers were really well rehearsed and very poised. Megan Fairchild was superb. Each summer I forget my mosquito repellent...at the very least we should wear lemongrass or lavender to repel them. As much as I love the SPAC ampitheater, there are lots of mosquitos when the rain comes in.

The NYC Ballet has done it again with a wonderful production of "Coppelia". Despite the rainy weather this venue was well attend at SPAC in Saratoga Springs, NY. Why do you ask? It is a classical Ballet. Despite the NYC Ballet company efforts to produce these modern pieces of dance, most people enjoy and appreciate watching the classic ballets. Megan Fairchild was simply lovely in her dancing of the role of Swanilda/Coppelia. Her effortless turns and fancy footwork were a delight to watch. Andrew Veyette was exciting to watch in his role as Franz. His leaps, lifts and turns made him appear light as feather, yet still portraying his true physical strength. Robert La Fosse was at his acting and dancing best as Dr. Coppelius. You laughed and cried for this character. The costumes and sets were impressive. It was delightful to see the little dancers of SAB and the local dance schools. Keep up the good work NYC Ballet, remember your classical ballets, and how about a longer season next year...2 weeks was too short!!! Ever thought of performing "Giselle"next year? I would attend and most of the Capital District and their dance studentswould too. Think about it. NYC Ballet's "Coppelia" a must see show!!!!

The July 16th performance of the New York City Ballet was a nice mix of choreography. The audience was warmed up by the classic style of Ballanchine in excerpts from Swan Lake, delighted by the whimsical, magical Millepied, and finally lulled into, I confess, the somewhat boring Four Temperaments. The dancers were consistently excellent: strong, musical and beautiful to watch. The highlight of the evening had to be Millepied's Fanstasia. I can't wait to see it again. Choreography at its best!

THE DANCERS, THE MUSIC, AND THE CHILDREN MADE FOR A WONDERFUL AND UNFORGETTABLE PERFORMANCE. MEGAN FAIRCHILD WAS WORTHY OF ALL THE ACCOLADES GIVEN. THE BALLET WAS ENJOYED BY THE ENTIRE FAMILY INCLUDING THE GRANDCHILDREN.

I've never been to the ballet before. All the guys at work were teasing me about it. I figured the wife wanted to go and this would give me brownie points. Well that worked, but I have to say that it was a pretty spectacular experience. Well worth the razzing at work. I'll be back again, and hopefully I'll be able to talk my coworkers into going with us next year.

The NYC Ballet was very enjoyable. The choreography was terrific and the dancers were wonderful.

My daughter and I went to see the Mixed Rep. of Balanchine & Millepied. My daughter's favorite was the Swan Lake because she prefers classical ballet. She liked the Four Temeraments, but most of Quasi Una Fantasia left her cold. I found the variety of dance wonderful, and loved all the pieces. I enjoyed seeing the versitility of the dancers from piece to piece. I especially enjoyed the Balanchine pieces, but I am a Balanchine fan! This was our first visit to SPAC, but it will not be our last. I was glad I sprang for reserved seats, we had an excellent view from the balcony.

Wonderful evening of world-class ballet. Swan Lake was more beautiful than I remembered. We are so fortunate to have the world's best ballet company visit here every year.

Wonderful night full of talent and beauty....excellent in every way!!!!
