Richmond Ballet

26/27 Season
2026-09-10 - 2027-05-23 | VA
Welcome to our 26/27 Season: Momentum — a season that celebrates the energy, imagination, and courage that carry us forward. It honors our cherished traditions while embracing bold artistry, stepping confidently into a vibrant new era. With the exception of our beloved production of The Nutcracker in December, every ballet this season will be performed by Richmond Ballet for the very first time. From dynamic works by renowned choreographers in our Moving Art Series to the East Coast premiere of Ma Cong’s full-length ballet Tchaikovsky: The Man Behind the Music, we invite you to join us at the theater to experience the beauty and energy of what is next!
