As 2022 comes to a close, we're celebrating a selection of stand-out moments chosen by our friends at @nycballet! 🔹 New York City Ballet presented the 50th Anniversary Celebration Stravinsky Festival during its 2022 Spring performance period, marking 50 years since the 1972 festival George Balanchine conceived to honor the life and work of the maverick composer, which included a world premiere by Company alum Silas Farley. 📸: Stoltzfus 🔸 During the 2022 Fall Fashion Gala, multi-hyphenate recording artist @solangeknowles debuted her very first ballet score, composed for the world premiere of @reisen_dance’s 'Play Time' (which enjoyed a nearly-sold out premiere run). 📸: Rafael Rios 🔹 For the first time since 2019, NYCB's production of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker® welcomed @sab_nyc students under the age of 12 back to the stage, providing many with their very first taste of the Lincoln Center spotlight. 📸: Erik Tanner
