- Turandot
Turandot Turandot
–
May 19, 2024WORLD PREMIERE
Powerful princess Turandot plays by her own rules. She invites any suitor to marry her, but first they’ll have to correctly solve three riddles—or face a gruesome death. The men are dropping like flies until Prince Calaf cracks the code. When he poses his own riddle back to Turandot, she finally has a glimpse at true love. But will Turandot’s icy heart freeze love out?
Color… pageantry… spectacle… there’s a reason why Turandot is at the top of the opera canon. Puccini’s final work mesmerizes with its sumptuous music, from the alluring overture to Prince Calaf’s passionate “Nessun dorma,” one of the world’s most famous arias ever written. Grammy Award®–winning composer and playwright Christopher Tin, known for his film and video game soundtracks, and acclaimed playwright and screenwriter Susan Soon He Stanton, offer a compelling ending to Puccini’s otherwise unfinished fantasy story. Turandot will let audience members decide for themselves: is Turandot mercilessly cruel, or justifiably cautious?

June 5, 2024Celebrating its 75th anniversary, New York City Ballet presents George Balanchine’s treasured Jewels. Amidst the grandeur of the Opera House, glittering gems sweep, shine, and swirl across the stage. Witness Balanchine’s artistry at its peak from the world-renowned company he cofounded 75 years ago.
A three-act ballet, Jewels is a stunning visual portrait showcasing three distinct styles of dance paired with music from different composers. The radiant display begins with the elegance and charm of “Emeralds,” moving at Gabriel Fauré’s mesmerizing pace and drawing from romantic French ballet. The playful pizzazz of “Rubies” is next, representing firecracker American ballet set to Igor Stravinsky’s jazz-inflected capriccio. With a regal finale in order, the command and glamour of “Diamonds,” alongside a symphonic Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky score, honors the masterful Balanchine’s own Russian heritage.
