The debut of Los Angeles Ballet on December 2nd, 2006 was met with standing ovations and critical acclaim. Lewis Segal, in his March 17, 2007 review of New Beginnings said "...Los Angeles Ballet is the real thing, a force for many kinds of excellence that deserves the community's attention and support."

Los Angeles Ballet’s original production of The Nutcracker reflects the city in which it is based. With choreography by Thordal Christensen and Colleen Neary and set design by LA designer and illustrator Catherine Kanner, the production honors the company’s mission to maintain an artistic collaboration that invites all genres to participate. Choreographers, composers, dancers, musicians, and set, costume and lighting designers come together in Los Angeles Ballet for a new era of performing arts innovation. Los Angeles Ballet’s 2007/2008 season included two world premieres by choreographers Melissa Barak and Jennifer Backhaus, as well as stunning works from Balanchine, Bournonville, and Lubovitch. Our 2008/2009 season promises to be just as spectacular, including our classic production of The Nutcracker in addition to an innovative repertoire of contemporary ballet masterworks.

Los Angeles Ballet is proud to announce the opening of the Los Angeles Ballet Center, the new home of both the Los Angeles Ballet and the Los Angeles Ballet School. It will house the administrative offices, studios, LAB Box Office, and LAB Costume Shop.

This is your Los Angeles Ballet. Now, the one missing gem in the city's cultural crown has arrived, and Los Angeles sheds its distinction as the only major city in the world without a professional ballet company to call its own.
