Ballet in NYC

[carolm]

We are planning on coming to NYC in July. I checked both ABT and NYCBallet and both are not going to be there then.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to see if any other ballet companies will be performing in NYC in July?

TIA,

Carol

The only listing for the 2007 Lincoln Center Festival is for the Kirov Opera, which is bringing two cycles of the Ring of the Nibelungen.

Mostly Mozart Festival runs from July 11 through August 25, and there could be a dance event, although most likely modern. None of the program info is up on the Lincoln Center website, though, and I can't find a mention of the Festival on the site.

If you can travel to Saratoga Springs for a couple of days (180 miles in each direction), you can see New York City Ballet perform from 3 July-21 July, Tuesdays through Saturdays, with a gala performance on Bastille Day.

Programs are TBA on the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) website:

Also, according to the website, you can get to Saratoga Springs by rail or bus:

By Train: There are Amtrak stations in Albany/Rensselaer and Saratoga Springs. Call Amtrak at 1.800.USA.RAIL or visit www.amtrak.com for schedule details. Taxi service and rental cars are available in both Albany and Saratoga Springs by prior arrangement.

By Bus: There are Greyhound and Trailways terminals in Albany and Saratoga Springs. Contact bus companies for schedule details. Taxi service and rental cars are available in both Albany and Saratoga Springs by prior arrangement.

Has anyone on BT travelled this way? If so, do you have any suggestions or recommendations?
