Donizetti Variations Tickets

Donizetti Variations is a distinctive performer project rooted in the ballet world where choreography meets the lyrical music of Gaetano Donizetti. The concept draws on the celebrated Balanchine tradition, specifically a work originally titled Variations from Don Sebastian, which premiered on November 16, 1960 with the New York City Ballet at City Center. In 1961, the piece was renamed Donizetti Variations. The choreography blends excerpts from Donizetti’s Dom Sébastien with Balanchine’s signature movement language.

The ballet has enjoyed numerous productions by prominent companies including Boston Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet, Joffrey, Royal Danish Ballet, and many others. In 2025, performances are scheduled at the Talbot Theatre, Thomas Dixon Centre in Brisbane, and at the David H. Koch Theater in New York City for an All Balanchine program.
