New York City Ballet

Balanchine's company performs classical and modern works at Lincoln Center, with productions like Swan Lake praised for their magic and Onegin called one visitor's favorite ballet for its emotional storytelling and spectacular staging. However, the experience can be marred by practical quirks: bulky winter coats are allowed into the auditorium despite a cloakroom, blocking aisles, and latecomers are seated while the orchestra has already begun—a recurring feature rather than an exception.
