The Washington Ballet 2026-2027 Season
The Washington Ballet 2026-2027 season, which marks the company’s 50th anniversary, is highlighted by Artistic Director Edwaard Liang’s world premiere telling the prequel to Dracula and a season finale at Wolf Trap.
Programming also pays homage to Choo San Goh and Septime Webre, two prominent figures in defining the identity of the company – Goh was The Washington Ballet’s first resident choreographer and Webre served at the helm for over fifteen years. The latter’s Nutcracker set in the capital of the United States remains a staple in the repertory.
“This Company has always been a picture of our city, reflecting the resilience, beauty, and energy of DC. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we aren’t just celebrating the foundation we’ve built; we are pushing the boundaries of what dance can mean.
This season is a homecoming. It is a dialogue between our classical heritage and the bold future of dance in D.C. It is a milestone that invites reflection, but for me, it’s also a compass pointing us toward the future. When I look back at the path The Washington Ballet has traveled, I see more than just a timeline of performances; I see the stories of our city written in motion.”
