A season filled with magic, romance, and vibrant artistry

Experience a captivating 26/27 season with Saint Louis Ballet—from the romantic tragedy of Giselle to the magic of The Nutcracker, the vibrant Love in Harmony featuring works by Christopher Wheeldon, Justin Peck, and Gen Horiuchi, and the return of Swan Lake, a timeless battle of love and fate.

Touhill Performing Arts Center | October 9–11, 2026

This masterwork of the 19th century is technically difficult and wildly emotional. Love has gone all wrong and Giselle’s music, choreography, and extraordinary costumes and sets transport you to a magical world where spectral maidens, a vengeful queen, and a peasant girl embody heartbreaking loss and triumphant forgiveness.

Touhill Performing Arts Center | November 28–29 & December 18–23, 2026

Saint Louis Ballet’s Nutcracker performances have become a tradition for thousands of area families. Glorious dancing, costumes, sets and lighting—this Nutcracker has it all.

Touhill Performing Arts Center | February 12–13, 2027

This mixed bill features Christopher Wheeldon’s romantic, neoclassical ballet The American, Justin Peck’s acclaimed Year of the Rabbit—set to Sufjan Stevens’ electronica album Enjoy Your Rabbit—and Gen Horiuchi’s Haydn Cello Concerto.

Touhill Performing Arts Center | April 23–25, 2027

A timeless battle of love and fate, set to Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score. Experience the unforgettable love story and one of the most beloved classical ballets.
