Boston Ballet presents Spring Experience

The 2026 Spring Experience is made up of three contrasting works that&nbsp;showcase&nbsp;the versatility of Boston Ballet dancers and the varied styles of&nbsp;storytelling.&nbsp; &nbsp; This program includes two Boston Ballet premieres: Jerome Robbins’&nbsp;Dances at a Gathering&nbsp;and William Forsythe’s&nbsp;Herman&nbsp;Schmerman, plus the return of Principal Dancer Lia Cirio’s&nbsp;After. Jerome Robbins’ signature ballet&nbsp;Dances at a Gathering&nbsp;is about human relationships and emotions. Set to music by Chopin, the cast of 10 dancers each represent different personalities as they flow in and out of graceful interactions with one another.&nbsp;William&nbsp;Forsythe’s&nbsp;Herman&nbsp;Schmerman&nbsp;embodies his signature style—vivacious and technically difficult dancing paired with wit and playfulness. Set to “Just Ducky” by Thom Willems, the ballet is punctuated with dancers in vibrant yellow Versace costumes.&nbsp;Lia&nbsp;Cirio’s&nbsp;After&nbsp;makes its&nbsp;return after a successful world premiere in 2024. Set to the dystopic Auerbach 24 Preludes for violin and piano&nbsp;selection,&nbsp;After&nbsp;is both personal and haunting. With a live pianist and violinist, dancers move in and out of delicate formations in front of a custom life-size sculpture by John Farrell.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; For more information, visit bostonballet.org or call 617.695.6955.&nbsp;
