Ballet: Visionary Dances - Premiere - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Three choreographies – three visions for a contemporary ballet. Visionary Dances brings together dance artists who have each found their own unique approach to academic dance and taken classical ballet to new dimensions.

While Twyla Tharp was one of the first to bridge the classical and modern worlds, and whose In the Upper Room celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026, Justin Peck and Wayne McGregor are currently among the most important and sought-after choreographers.
