NYC Ballet at SPAC--Details & Schedule

New York City Ballet brings artistic excellence to the forefront with a gorgeous program of masterpieces interwoven with striking contemporary works and new choreography. We are particularly pleased to present the major revival of Peter Martins' The Magic Flute, after an absence of nearly three decades. With a beautiful score, wonderful costumes and elaborate scenery, this production is perfect for children and families and is set to be one of the summer's biggest draws.

We are also excited to offer Gala audiences the exclusive opportunity to experience Susan Stroman's much-talked-about new ballet For the Love of Duke set to the music of Duke Ellington and Benjamin Millepied's Plainspoken with a commissioned score by award winning composer David Lang. Peter Martins' glamorous Thou Swell, performed with an on-stage jazz trio and vocalists, will add more glitter to the Gatsby Gala evening.

We will also welcome City Ballet's new See the Music program, which has quickly become a very popular feature with New York audiences. These brief presentations by Peter Martins and NYCB Music Director Faycal Karoui offer fascinating insights on the evening's music and program.

Get seats in the Amphitheatre or have a picnic on the lawn. The Ballet at SPAC is one of Saratoga's greatest summer pleasures!
