New York City Ballet Tickets

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

A very positive experience! The production was first class from the scenery and costumes, to the addition of the younger dancers. The two principal dancers were not only technically excellent, but their personalities and their enjoyment added to the overall effect. The orchestra was excellent as always, and we enjoyed their interaction with the audience before the performance, and during the intermissions. All involved made this night very special for some very lucky little girls and their families.

The three ballets contrasted with each other and comprised a very interesting program.

The NYC ballet on July 14th at SPAC was spectacular. Each of the three ballets was worth the price of admission. And it didn't hurt that before the concert, vendors offered tastings of wine and chocolates and free massages. What a lovely evening!

Beautifully danced, all 4 ballets were excellent. Great variety, some combined with modern dance. The Chagal art was so beautiful and a priceless treasure held by SPAC.

Definitely worth seeing City Ballet in Saratoga. A great celebration of Darci Kistler's career, and of City Ballet's repertoire as well. Recommended highly.

An unforgettable evening. Dancing perfection, joyous music and sets and setting a treat. The rain could not dampen the excitement and energy of every piece. Great time for sure.

Up until seeing NYCB on July 11th, I had only attended events by the Rochester City Ballet and a few other ballet events in Syracuse. I have only been involved with ballet for 2 years. (Taking adult ballet lessons as well as being a patron. Why just watch, when you can do?) While I love attending Rochester City Ballet events, I keep running into NYCB books and DVDs in bookstores and I own most of them. Thus, it became a priority for me to see them in person and I drove 3 hours to this event. It was 100% worth the easy drive down Rt 90 and I got way more in entertainment and amazement value than what I paid. I especially was impressed by Symphony in Three Movements which was choreographed by the great Balanchine and composed by Stravinsky. It felt much more dynamic and powerful than the classical ballet I am used to seeing. As much as I loved the dancing, I was equally impressed by the LIVE symphony music. Live music is 100 times richer than prerecorded music used by smaller dance companies. I paid a small amount to see a major ballet company and hear a major orchestra. After the performance, I drove into downtown Saratoga where I found an large number of interesting shops and restaurants. I am planning on returning for the July 18th performances.

As always, the principals were fabulous. Seeing Darci Kistler perform in what may have been one of her final performances was wonderful. She still has the pure line and lyrical form that has made her a favorite for years. The corps was a little ragged in the final piece, Symphony in Three Movements, but not enough to detract from the overall performance. All in all, a wonderful way to spend a summer afternoon!

NYC Ballet is truly amazing - I have not seen ballet before and went with my wife, but found it very accessible and amazing that so much can be said in just dance. My wife, who has studied ballet, also enjoyed it immensely. So, thoroughly enjoyable both for people who have never seen ballet before, and for seasoned aficionados.

The setting is lovely, the hall comfortable and with great sight lines. he dancing was as always superb.

Hi everyone, I just got back from a wonderful trip to the summer home of the NYC ballet. I was fortunate to attend 2 nights of wonderful dancing in a beautiful environment. The gala celebration was truly wonderful. It honored Darci Kistler and she performed beautifully. The event felt very communal as if we were sharing a family get together. I felt as if I had been invited by Peter Martins himself to this final performance of Darci's! Mr. Martins walked about the audience and sat in the back with all to watch . And his daughter was there to honor her mother as well. It was all very special. After the performance the fireworks lit the sky for a long display of colors and shooting forms. They were so close to us that we felt we could touch them. Then there was dancing under the tents to the sounds of an excellent live band as we danced the night away. Thank you for such a memorable night. I will never forget it.

the program had a good mix of dance types from classical,stark setting (hallelulja ballet) to modern dance almost like west side story (slaughter on tenth avenue, my long time favorite). stars and stripes was very patriotic and very good. and tarantella was exciting. the fireworks were fabulous the dancing in the tents was fun. the rain held off for the most part. although it did put a real damper on the lawn people and picnickers. on;y 4or 5. the fact that the rain kept so many people away was very sad because it rained very little and the event was absolutely wonderful.

It was lovely to see one of Darci Kistler's last performances.

The evening performance I attended last year was amazing. Yesterday afternoon was not enjoyed as much. Little scenery, costumes and no Robbins! (Show titled: Balanchine, Robbins and Martins) The dancing was wonderful as was the orchestra but I was left feeling I still needed another ballet experience.

It was a wonderful night, the ballet in saratoga springs was amazing.

All the music for the Thursday matinee at SPAC was Russian. Each of the four ballets was very different. Romeo and Juliet, the balcony scene, was very romantic. Another was more contemporary with the dancers in leotards. The finale was lush with many dancers and elaborate scenery. I loved every minute.

I always look forward to seeing NYCB at SPAC and this time was no different. Gorgeous dancing, sets, music, and setting. If you can't go to NYC, go to SPAC - matinee or evening!

Cage was fantastically engaging. The rest of the performance was mildly enjoyable. We liked the Firebird as well, including Chagall's decorations and the spectacular colors and outfits. One sour note: We had to stand in line for 25 minutes to pickup our tickets that we had ordered and paid for on line. As a result we entered our seats 5 minutes after the start of the performance. Not a good way to start and evening at SPAC. This might deter us for going to SPAC in the future.

The NYC Ballet and the orchestra were superb! The afternoon was beautiful and the ballet was perfect.
