Joffrey Ballet 2026-2027 Season
“The 2026–2027 season places the Joffrey at the forefront of dance, with works of rare theatrical scale.
We are proud to be the first American company to present the Chicago premiere of Liliom, John Neumeier’s masterful, heartbreakingly beautiful narrative ballet rarely seen in the United States, as well as the North American premiere of Christopher Wheeldon’s The Sleeping Beauty. Set to Tchaikovsky’s greatest score, this magnificent season finale reminds us that light always prevails over darkness.
Alongside these landmark productions is our winter program, which welcomes the return of Liam Scarlett’s breathtaking Hummingbird, and a world premiere by Winning Works alum Houston Thomas – speaking to the Grainger Academy’s lasting impact on artistic futures.
This season brings the full breadth of the art form on one stage, performed by a Company dancing at the highest level.”
