Video: First Look at Christopher Wheeldon's Oscar Wilde Ballet at New York City Center
Oscar will play a limited engagement at New York City Center October 8-11.
The remarkable world of a literary legend will come to the New York City Center stage with the full-length ballet, Oscar, from choreographer Christopher Wheeldon. Oscar will play a limited engagement at New York City Center October 8-11. Watch a trailer here!
Oscar draws on the eventful life and unforgettable writings of the great Irish humourist Oscar Wilde. Bringing to life the opulence and decadence of 1880s London society, Oscar weaves the playwright’s personal experiences alongside the richly textured worlds and characters he imagined.

In 2016, he was named an OBE and was made an Honorary Fellow of American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
