Miami City Ballet (MCB) and Artistic Director Lourdes Lopez successfully balance homage to dance history and the monumental legacy of George Balanchine, while also highlighting the choreographic genius of some of today’s most gifted choreographers. The 2023-24 season does just that, but audience favorites aren’t left out of the mix either, with the return of “George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker” and the new interpretation of “Swan Lake” from Alexei Ratmansky.
