New York City Ballet takes you on a journey across the globe.

You don’t have to be a Francophile to love the Tour de France, and there is nothing like Paris in the springtime, as the amusing An American in Paris proves. Jean Sibelius forged Finland’s national identify in music. In Valse Triste, his ardent melodies inspire a poignant portrait of remembered loss. China’s iconic grace and exotic mystery lie at the center of The Chairman Dances, a vibrantly–colored piece inspired by music from John Adams’ opera, Nixon in China. Like peeling the petals from a chrysanthemum, the Japanese-inspired Bugaku strips away ancient courtship conventions to reveal smoldering, explosive desire. The multi-hued Russian Seasons embraces life’s most important moments with a vivid and compelling humanity.
