Once Upon A Ballet

GROUNDBREAKING in its programming and execution, NYTB’s wildly popular Once Upon A Ballet series provides entertaining storybook ballets meticulously rendered in miniature. Our traditional Nutcracker and Cinderella classics, as well as new works such as Sleeping Beauty are only one hour in length – perfectly suited to the attention span of our youngest audience members, yet sophisticated enough for the most discerning adult.

“Imagine a totally unwired world with the impact of so much visual richness. Then unplug a 21st century kid and head for the Gould.”
– Elizabeth Zimmer, The Village Voice.

All performances held at the 400 seat, family-friendly Florence Gould Hall.
