Philadelphia Ballet 2026-2027 Season

The Philadelphia Ballet 2026-2027 season opens with two repertory programs featuring works by George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Eliot Feld, Christopher Wheeldon, Wayne McGregor, and Twyla Tharp.

These are followed by the beloved full-length classics The Nutcracker, Cinderella, and Don Quixote.

“This season is a powerful reflection of who we are and where we are going. The repertory celebrates the power, diversity and innovation of ballet from quintessential American masterworks to sweeping classics that audiences treasure, while the opening of our Center for Dance signals a bold future rooted in access, creativity and connection.”
