Philadelphia Ballet 2025-26 Season Info
The Philadelphia Ballet invites audiences back to the Academy of Music for a season packed with dramatic depth, romance, and artistic daring. The season opens with a bold double bill — Carmen & Boléro — running from October 9 to 12, 2025. Choreographed by Artistic Director Ángel Corella, Carmen ignites the stage with seduction and tragedy set to Bizet’s iconic music, followed by the hypnotic rhythm and athletic crescendo of Boléro spun from Ravel’s score. Just days later, the company dives into Evening of Horror (October 16–19), pairing Agnes de Mille’s haunting Fall River Legend with the world premiere Valley of Death by Resident Choreographer Juliano Nunes — an exploration of psychological and supernatural shadows in dance form.
As winter arrives, George Balanchine’s beloved holiday classic, The Nutcracker (December 5–31), returns to delight dancers and families alike with waltzing flowers, toy soldiers, and magical transformations. Then, in early 2026, The Merry Widow (March 5–15) sweeps into Belle Époque Paris, blending romance, political intrigue, and the irresistible Merry Widow Waltz in Ronald Hynd’s lavish staging. The season closes with a fresh reimagination of Romeo and Juliet (April 30–May 10), crafted by Juliano Nunes and set to Prokofiev’s timeless score — a tender yet tragic finale that spotlights the depth and agility of the company’s artistry

About Philadelphia Ballet
Philadelphia Ballet — formerly known as Pennsylvania Ballet — is one of the nation’s premier ballet companies, known for its artistic excellence, technical precision, and dynamic repertory. Founded in 1963 by Barbara Weisberger, a protégé of George Balanchine, the company quickly gained recognition for its strong foundation in the Balanchine tradition and its commitment to both classical and contemporary works.
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Ángel Corella since 2014, Philadelphia Ballet has expanded its artistic vision while maintaining its classical roots. Corella, a celebrated former principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre, has infused the company with fresh energy, championing new choreography, nurturing young talent, and broadening its international reach.
The company performs primarily at the historic Academy of Music in Philadelphia, and its repertoire spans from timeless full-length ballets like Giselle, Swan Lake, and The Sleeping Beauty, to modern works by choreographers such as Christopher Wheeldon, Matthew Neenan, and Juliano Nunes. Known for its disciplined corps, emotionally expressive principals, and stylistic versatility, Philadelphia Ballet continues to balance tradition with innovation.
Beyond the stage, the company plays an active role in the community through educational outreach, training at the Philadelphia Ballet School, and inclusive programming aimed at making ballet more accessible to diverse audiences. It stands as a cultural cornerstone of Philadelphia’s performing arts scene and a respected force in the national ballet landscape.
