The Center's 2014--2015 Ballet season, led by Artistic Advisor for Ballet Suzanne Farrell, includes Kennedy Center favorites as well as some of the most renowned companies from the United States and around the world. The Royal Ballet brings Carlos Acosta's acclaimed new production of Don Quixote as well as a mixed repertory program that includes Christopher Wheeldon's Aeternum, Wayne McGregor's new work Tetractys - The Art of Fugue, and a new work from The Royal Ballet's Artist-in-Residence Liam Scarlett. The Mariinsky Ballet, in its 13th consecutive season at the Kennedy Center, presents Nijinsky's Le Sacre du printemps, reconstructed by Millicent Hodson with a score by Igor Stravinsky played by a 90-member orchestra. The Mariinsky Ballet also presents Folkine's Le Spectre de la Rose and Dying Swan, and Petipa's Paquita Grand Pas. The Scottish Ballet makes its long-awaited Kennedy Center debut with its award-winning production of A Streetcar Named Desire choreographed by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa in collaboration with film director Nancy Meckler. The season also includes the return of America's first full-length production of The Nutcracker by Ballet West. New York City Ballet returns to the Kennedy Center with two mixed repertory programs, including 20th Century Classics which features three Balanchine ballets—Serenade, Agon, and Symphony in C— as well as a program that will be announced at a later date. American Ballet Theatre presents a program of mixed repertory including three works created specifically for the company—Balanchine's Theme & Variations, Tharp's Push Comes to Shove, and Tudor's Pillar of Fire—as well as a full-length ballet that will be announced at a later date. The Kennedy Center's own The Suzanne Farrell Ballet returns to the Opera House with a program that includes three company premieres: the 1951 version of George Balanchine's Swan Lake, Allegro Brillante, and Jerome Robbins's The Concert (or The Perils of Everybody). Other than New York City Ballet, which will utilize its own orchestra, all performances in the 2014--2015 ballet season will be accompanied by the acclaimed Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra.
