Los Angeles Ballet Will Present 21st Season With THE NUTCRACKER, COPPELIA and More
The season spans the Hollywood Bowl, BroadStage, Royce Hall, the Dolby Theatre and The Wallis.
Los Angeles Ballet has announced its 2026/2027 season. With 10 works in all, this is LAB's biggest programmatic season to date. LAB holds the distinction of being the longest-operating professional classical ballet company in the history of Los Angeles.
This season will open with a special engagement with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl with an original work by Artistic Director Melissa Barak, a return to BroadStage in Santa Monica with a triple bill celebrating American choreographers, 17 performances of LAB's original production of The Nutcracker at Royce Hall and Dolby Theatre, a continuation of its residency at The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in January 2026 with returning choreographers Christopher Wheeldon and Ma Cong, and a long-awaited Company premiere of the feel-good story book ballet, Coppélia.
