The 2009–2010 season marks the fourth U.S. tour for the Israel Ballet, and the first in 25 years. Since its establishment in 1967, the Israel Ballet has performed at prominent festivals all over the world, earning recognition and bringing honor to the State of Israel. They are the only company in Israel performing the great classical and neoclassical ballets of the international repertoire.
The company, comprised of 35 dancers from all over the world, has a rich and varied repertoire. In addition to George Balanchine’s famous neoclassical works, among them Serenade, Concerto Barocco, Square Dance, and La Valse, they also perform such classical and modern full-length ballets as The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Don Quixote. The company performs new works by Christian Spuck, Krzysztof Pastor, Rudi van Danzig, Jan Lincolns, and Lar Lubovitch, many of whom have created original works for the company.
The Israel Ballet’s founder and artistic director Berta Yampolsky has created and received universal acclaim for more than 30 original ballets and for new productions of such classics as The Nutcracker and The Sleeping Beauty.
