Philadelphia Ballet 2024-2025 Season

The Philadelphia Ballet 2024-2025 season continues the company’s 60th anniversary celebration and Angel Corella’s 10th year as Artistic Director.

Along with three full-length ballets, two repertoire programs span the ballet spectrum from the most romantic classical to innovative world premieres.

The season opens with Corella’s Le Corsaire which is set to Adolphe Adam’s music, followed by the annual production of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker. The third full-length that follows is the reprise of Corella’s Swan Lake.

Next, Russell Ducker’s Dance Card, which evokes the golden age of high society ballrooms, is joined by two premieres, one by Houston Ballet Artistic Director Stanton Welch, the other, Corella’s Boléro, a daring feat in athleticism set to Bizet’s resounding and powerful score.

The season wraps up with a romantic-style double-bill with the world premiere of Corella’s La Sylphide and Harald Lander’s Études.
