The availability of all of the Nutcracker performances online this winter has made us even more aware of alternative ways to view ballet this season.
Below is a calendar of online ballet performances to help you easily find world-class performing arts to enjoy from the comfort of your home – at least until theatres start re-opening globally. Some of these offerings are free to watch while others require tickets that can be purchased individually or as part of a subscription package.
Further down this page are links to reviews we have written for programs virtually viewed thus far.
And included at the end are the companies who have committed to a full digital 2020-201 season. Most began earlier this fall and run through the spring.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
It’s important to keep in mind that not all of the ballets presented are necessarily the versions we are familiar with as many companies have adapted their traditional productions in order to accommodate physical distance restrictions and/or to better suit a digital experience.
We hope that you find this page helpful. It will be updated regularly as more information comes in and every time a new review is published; so be sure to bookmark it for quick and easy reference!
The Online Ballet Performances list below focuses on just those that are available to a broader, global audience.
To find all professional ballet performances – whether they be in-person, on the big screen, broadcasting on your local television channel, or online – check out our Ballet Performances Calendar. Here you can filter results by company, date, and and keyword you search for.

Thank you for doing this Cherilyn! We miss live ballet badly, but these videos help. I look forward to later this year when we can again be in studio and in performance and I can return to photographing so many beautiful dancers.
I have been so impressed with how ballet companies have adapted and grateful for the opportunity to experience so many that I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise! I, too, hope you can get back to studios and theatres soon 🙂
