Boston Ballet Spring Experience

Boston Ballet’s “Spring Experience” at the Boston Opera House

The 2026 Spring Experience is made up of three contrasting works that showcase the versatility of Boston Ballet dancers and the varied styles of contemporary ballet storytelling - Jerome Robbins: Dances at a Gathering, William Forsythe: Herman Schmerman, Lia Cirio: After.

 

Dances at a Gathering – a Boston premiere of Jerome Robbins’ signature ballet - is about human relationships and emotions. Set to music by Chopin, the entire cast of 10 dancers each represent different personalities as they flow in and out of graceful interactions with one another.  Herman Schmerman - William Forsythe, known for his revolutionary and influential approach to choreography, redefined classical ballet and expanded its boundaries, earning him recognition as one of the most visionary choreographers of his time. Herman Schmerman embodies his signature style—vivacious and technically difficult dancing paired with wit and playfulness. The ballet is set to “Just Ducky” by Thom Willems and is punctuated with dancers in vibrant yellow Versace costumes. After - Set to the dystopic Auerbach 24 Preludes for violin and piano selection, Lia Cirio’s second world premiere for Boston Ballet is both personal and haunting. With a live pianist and violinist, dancers move in and out of delicate formations in pale gray costumes in front of a custom life-size sculpture by John Farrell. The ballet comes together as a haunting portrayal of life’s delicate nature.
