About New York City Ballet

New York City Ballet was founded in 1948 by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein and performs at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center. The company holds the largest repertoire of any American ballet company and often stages more than 60 ballets across its winter and spring seasons. Each holiday season it dances Balanchine's The Nutcracker, and in summer it performs at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
