Choreographer Alexi Ratmansky on His Upcoming World Premiere at New York City Ballet

Playbill: Beginning with 2006’s Russian Seasons, choreographer Alexei Ratmansky has established a relationship of both fruitful collaboration and striking variation with New York City Ballet. A regular presence in the hallowed halls of NYCB’s home at Lincoln Center since becoming Artist in Residence in August 2023, Ratmansky is once again departing from his previous works for the Company by staging a suite of dances from Marius Petipa’s Paquita, running February 6–9, a work Petipa choreographed for the Imperial Ballet of St. Petersburg in 1847 and revised in 1881.
