New York City Ballet - Short Stories

New York City Ballet - Short Stories at David H Koch Theater

Why see New York City Ballet - Short Stories?

Short Stories

The New York City Ballet presents a dynamic evening of works tied together by the art of dance and storytelling in their unmissable annual Short Stories program. Led by three of Balanchine's best-loved narratives, including his interpretation of the biblical tale Prodigal Son, and the charming fairytale love story between a ballerina and a toy soldier, The Steadfast Tin Soldier. And to end: the merry stylings of Wheeldon's Carnival of the Animals - an imaginative treat set to Saint-Saens beloved composition and a text written and narrated by John Lithgow.
