Founded in 1958 as the Cincinnati Civic Ballet, the Cincinnati Ballet has grown into a premier American company known for melding classical masterworks with bold contemporary pieces. Since first performances in 1964, the company has balanced tradition with innovation, often collaborating with live music ensembles like the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra for iconic productions such as The Nutcracker. In 2021, the company moved to the Margaret and Michael Valentine Center for Dance in Walnut Hills, signaling a new era of studio and performance opportunities. As an insider in the field, you’ll find that Cincinnati Ballet offers a reliable, straightforward path to great seats for performances that matter.
