The '''Boston Ballet''' is an American professional [[classical ballet]] [[ballet company|company]] based in [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]]. It was founded in 1963 by [[E. Virginia Williams]]<ref>[https://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60714F63A5C0C7A8CDDAC0894DC484D81 NY Times] obituary of Virginia Williams by [[Jennifer Dunning]], May 9, 1984]</ref> and Sydney Leonard, and was the first professional repertory ballet company in New England. It has been led by [[Violette Verdy]] (1980–1984), Bruce Marks (1985–1997), and [[Anna-Marie Holmes]] (1997–2000). [[Mikko Nissinen]] has been artistic director of Boston Ballet since 2001. Nissinen leads the company in partnership with Executive Director Ming Min Hui.

== History ==

=== 1956-1979 ===
In 1956, [[E. Virginia Williams]] moved the ballet school she founded from a studio in Back Bay to 186 Massachusetts Avenue, across from the Loew's State Theatre in Boston. At this point in time, the school offered classes starting at a children's level all the way to a professional division.

In 1958, out of her Boston School of Ballet (which was sometimes called The New England School of Ballet), E. Virginia Williams formed a small dance group named The New England Civic Ballet. The group primarily performed at small local festivals and venues around New England.<ref name="The 1950s">{{Cite web |title=The 1950s |url=https://www.bostonballet.org/Home/BehindTheScenes/boston-ballet-history-the-1950s.aspx |access-date=12 October 2020 |website=Boston Ballet School}}</ref>

From 1958 to 1962, the New England Civic Ballet performed regionally, dancing various pieces such as a three-act ''Nutcracker'', ''[[Les Sylphides]]'', and repertory works by E. Virginia Williams, Sydney Leonard, [[Lev Ivanov|Lev Ianov]], and Jean Paige.<ref name="The 1950s" />

In August 1962, the New England Civic Ballet performed as part of the 30th year of the [[Jacob's Pillow Dance|Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival]]. At this point, the New England Civic Ballet was considered a semi-professional company and began calling themselves the Boston Ballet.

In December 1963, ''[[The Boston Globe]]'' reported that a Ford Foundation grant of [[US$]]144,000 to the Boston Ballet School had given birth to Boston's first and only professional ballet company. The total Ford Grant was $7,756,000, the largest private subsidy made to a single art form at the time. In part, based on the recommendations of George Balanchine and [[W. McNeil Lowry]], the grant provided for the formation of several professional ballet companies. This included the Boston Ballet, [[Pennsylvania Ballet]], [[Cincinnati Ballet]], and [[The Washington Ballet|Washington Ballet]]. [[George Balanchine|Balanchine]] was a strong supporter of this initiative. He was Boston Ballet's artistic advisor for several years and gave the new company several of his works.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The 1960s |url=https://www.bostonballet.org/Home/BehindTheScenes/boston-ballet-history-the-1960s.aspx |access-date=12 October 2020 |website=Boston Ballet School}}</ref>

=== 1979–1989 ===
In 1979, Boston Ballet opened the [[Nervi International Ballet Festival|Nervi Festival]] in Italy, and in 1980 was the first American dance company to perform in the [[People's Republic of China]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Boston Ballet - Boston Ballet on Tour |url=https://www.bostonballet.org/Home/The-Company/About/Touring/Boston-Ballet-on-Tour}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Behind the Scenes - Boston Ballet History of the 1980s |url=https://www.bostonballet.org/Home/BehindTheScenes/boston-ballet-history-the-1980s.aspx}}</ref> The company made its London premiere in 1981, with a full-length production of [[Swan Lake]].<ref name=":1" /> In 1983, Boston Ballet presented ''[[Don Quixote (ballet)|Don Quixote]]'' on Broadway with [[Rudolf Nureyev]] as a guest artist, after touring the United States, Mexico, France, and Italy. Boston Ballet performed [[Mark Morris (choreographer)|Mark Morris's]] ''[[Mort Subite]]'' at the PepsiCo Festival in Purchase, New York in 1986,<ref name=":1" /> and performed at the BESSIE Dance and Performance award ceremony at [[New York City Center]] in 1987.

=== 1990–1999 ===
Boston Ballet made its debut at the [[Kennedy Center]] in Washington DC, in January 1990. Thay May [[Natalia Dudinskaya]], [[Konstantin Sergeyev]], and assistant artistic director [[Anna-Marie Holmes]] staged a new production of ''Swan Lake'' with Boston Ballet dancers performing with dancers from the [[Kirov Ballet]] and the [[Bolshoi Ballet]].{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}  In 1991, Boston Ballet moved into their current headquarters at 19 Clarendon Street in Boston's South End,<ref>{{Cite web |title=The 1990s |url=https://www.bostonballet.org/stories/boston-ballet-history-the-1990s/ |access-date=2023-01-20 |website=Boston Ballet |language=en}}</ref> after touring throughout Spain in July.

=== 2000–2010 ===
In 2005, the company added [[James Kudelka]]'s ''Cinderella'', [[George Balanchine]]'s ''Coppélia'', ''Jewels'', ''Midsummer Night's Dream'', the American premiere of Jirí Kylián's ''Black and White,'' John Cranko's ''[[Onegin (Cranko)|Onegin]]'', ''[[The Taming of the Shrew (ballet)|The Taming of the Shrew]],'' and ''[[Romeo and Juliet (Cranko)|Romeo and Juliet]]'' to its repertoire. Boston Ballet additionally appointed [[Jorma Elo]] as its resident choreographer. Elo created at least six works for the company, including ''Plan to B'', ''Brake the Eyes'', and ''Le Sacre du Printemps''. During the summer of 2007, the company completed a second tour of Spain. Boston Ballet's touring included appearances at the Guggenheim Museum's ''[[Works & Process]]'' series, the "Fall for Dance" festivals held at [[New York City Center]] and [[Orange County Performing Arts Center]], and performances at the [[Spoleto Festival USA]] and the Kennedy Center's ''Ballet Across America'' series in the spring of 2008. Boston Ballet embarked on its first tour to Seoul, South Korea in the summer of 2008, presenting works by George Balanchine, Twyla Tharp, and Christopher Wheeldon not previously performed there.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} In the fall of 2009, Boston Ballet's sole performance venue became the [[Boston Opera House (1980)|Boston Opera House]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-08-07 |title=Entering first full season at Opera House, Boston Ballet finds it's a good fit - The Boston Globe |url=http://www.boston.com/ae/theater_arts/articles/2009/08/30/entering_first_full_season_at_opera_house_boston_ballet_finds_its_a_good_fit/ |access-date=2023-04-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150807061522/http://www.boston.com/ae/theater_arts/articles/2009/08/30/entering_first_full_season_at_opera_house_boston_ballet_finds_its_a_good_fit/ |archive-date=August 7, 2015 }}</ref>

=== Since 2010 ===
Boston Ballet maintains a repertoire that includes classics such as Marius Petipa's ''The Sleeping Beauty'' and August Bournonville's ''La Sylphide'', contemporary versions of classics such as Mikko Nissinen's ''Swan Lake'' and John Cranko's ''Romeo and Juliet'', and works by contemporary choreographers including William Forsythe, Jirí Kylián, Mark Morris, [[David Dawson (choreographer)|David Dawson]], [[Val Caniparoli]], Christopher Wheeldon, and Helen Pickett. Over 35 performances employ the entire company and more than 250 Boston Ballet School students who join in the production every year. Boston Ballet's ''[[The Nutcracker]]'' has been performed annually since 1963.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Boston Ballet - The Rich Legacy of Boston Ballet's The Nutcracker |url=https://www.bostonballet.org/stories/nutcracker-history/ |access-date=2022-11-15 |website=www.bostonballet.org}}</ref>

== Boston Ballet II ==
Boston Ballet has no official apprentice company. However, they have a secondary company, Boston Ballet II (BBII). For some [[:Category:Boston Ballet II dancers|Boston Ballet II dancers]], their work in BBII is their first paid dancer experience.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-02-07|title=Second Companies: Boston Ballet II and meeting tomorrow's dancers|url=https://www.danceinforma.com/2017/02/07/second-companies-boston-ballet-ii-meeting-tomorrows-dancers/|access-date=2021-11-09|website=Dance Informa Magazine}}</ref> BBII members usually practice and perform with the main company, and also perform in their own productions.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-07-15|title=In the Studio with Boston Ballet II: Follow These Motivated Stars of Tomorrow Through a Day in the Life|url=https://pointemagazine.com/boston-ballet-ii/|access-date=2021-11-09|website=Pointe Magazine|language=en-US}}</ref>
Boston Ballet II is currently under the direction of Joan Boada.

== Boston Ballet Graduate Program ==
The Graduate Program under the guidance of Kathleen Mitchell is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious and exclusive pre-professional ballet programs in the United States. Dancers in the program don't get paid, nor are they bound by contracts, but they do have the privilege of training with Boston Ballet II. This is a one-year program primarily for dancers who've graduated high school.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Graduate Program |url=https://www.bostonballet.org/education/graduate-program/ |access-date=2025-02-11 |website=Boston Ballet |language=en}}</ref>

The Boston Ballet School (BBS) continues to operate as part of Boston Ballet. The program was officially incorporated as Boston Ballet School in 1979. The studio serves male and female ballet students starting at age 3. The BBS is the largest dance school in North America, providing professional dance education at locations in Boston, Newton, and specialized training at Walnut Hill School For Performing Arts.<ref>{{cite web | title=Boston Ballet School | website=Boston Magazine| date=March 30, 2017| url=https://www.bostonmagazine.com/boston-ballet-school/ | access-date=12 September 2022}}</ref>
