Philadelphia Ballet
Philadelphia Ballet, established in 1963 by Barbara Weisberger, a protégée of George Balanchine, is one of the premier ballet companies in the United States and has been at the forefront of American dance since its creation. A leading Philadelphia cultural institution, the Company has earned a national reputation for its impassioned artistry and technical virtuosity, and has received widespread critical acclaim for its performances of a diverse classical and contemporary repertoire with a Balanchine base. The energy and exuberance of its versatile dancers are the Company’s enduring signature.
Artistic Director Angel Corella is widely regarded as one of the finest dancers of his generation. Corella began his tenure with Philadelphia Ballet in August 2014 and has brought to Philadelphia a new level of passion and energy. During Corella’s first season with Philadelphia Ballet, he continued the Balanchine tradition while introducing progressive works, diversifying the range of repertoire performed.
