Acclaimed choreographer Alexei Ratmansky won’t be going far when he leaves American Ballet Theatre this summer — he’ll simply be crossing the plaza at Lincoln Center over to New York City Ballet.
FILE - A man stands in front of the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on Nov. 13, 2013, in New York. Ratmansky, one of the leading classical choreographers in the world, will join New York City Ballet in August as artist in residence with a five-year contract, the company announced on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023. The NYCB's principal venue is the David H. Koch Theater.
Stafford, who worked with Ratmansky as a dancer on “Russian Seasons” and “Concerto DSCH,” said Ratmansky brought what he called a unique approach to NYCB, specifically a sense of musicality, a broad dance vocabulary and a devotion to detail. The company said Ratmansky will create at least one new work each year, with the first scheduled to premiere during the 2024 winter season as part of the company’s 75th anniversary celebrations.
Stafford noted that Ratmansky was “very much a ballet historian, and he loves the history of New York City Ballet,” especially the legacy of famed choreographers George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins.
