BalletCollective Fall Season: Opposites Attract — Nov 3 Performance

Monumental meets intimate. Bold meets accessible. Ballet meets its future. This is for the Tuesday, November 3rd performance, for Wednesday, November 4th, click here. For our Gala on Thursday, November 5, click here. Following last year’s sold-out Fall Season, BalletCollective returns to the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine with three world premiere ballets. Each one offers a distinct exploration of the 2026 15th Anniversary season theme: Opposites Attract. Opposites Attract began as a description of how we create our genre expanding work: brilliant artists from different forms, brought into the same room to work toward a shared goal. It grew into an exploration of the competing impulses inside a single mind. The evening begins along a candlelit pathway that leads into one of NYC’s most iconic spaces. Inside, encounter live music and discover eleven of the world’s best dancers performing so close that they are almost within your reach.
