Catch international premieres on the New York stage

In collaboration with the New York Philharmonic, Rubén Blades' large-scale musical work Maestra Vida—a soaring, genre-defying urban drama centered on the Latin American lived experience—will be presented in the U.S. for the very first time. The U.S. premiere of the UK’s most celebrated Hip-Hop dance theater company, Boy Blue, brings movement at its most fluid, distilled, and skilled with Cycles. Through spoken word and dance, Carnival of the Animals reframes Camille Saint-Saëns’ classic as it navigates the shifting societal values and our relationship to democracy.
