New York City Center has played a defining role in the cultural life of the City since 1943 when it was founded by Mayor Fiorello La Guardia with the civic mission to make the best in the performing arts accessible to all. The landmark 75th Anniversary Season (2018 – 2019) pays tribute to this rich history and celebrates the institution’s singular role in the arts today.
When Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake premiered in 1995, it “changed the dance landscape forever” (The Observer, UK). The image of bare-chested men in feathered trousers as the flock of alluring swans instantly became iconic, and the production went on to earn more than 30 international accolades including three Tony Awards. This winter, Bourne’s groundbreaking dance-theater company New Adventures—last at City Center in 2017 with The Red Shoes— returns in a not-to-be-missed production reimagined for the 21st century. Witty, passionate, and audacious as ever, Bourne’s Swan Lake is the dance event of the season.

Know Before You Go
Both romantic and scary, The Phantom of the Opera is a thrilling night of theater with grand emotions.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s score, with its beloved signature song “Music of the Night,” sets the mood,
but you may also find yourself humming the gorgeous period costumes and simple yet grand sets
(even the famous chandelier, which probably falls slower than you’d expect, is a thrill).
