FPF Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Email from SPAC says that we will have another "1-week" season next year, July 14-18, 2020. No word yet on programming. Link to comment
FPF Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 SPAC has announced the 2020 NYCB season: https://spac.org/calendar/calendar-of-events/?view=list&gen=2&utm_source=SPAC+Master&utm_campaign=e3983f31fc-EBLAST_2020ClassicalSeasonAnnounceNonMemb&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_506934f83b-e3983f31fc-217250197&mc_cid=e3983f31fc&mc_eid=bee1c0630b Programs are: Martins' Swan Lake: July 14 and 17th at 8pm, July 18th at 2 pm 20th Century Masters (Summerspace/Cunnningham; Piano Pieces/Robbins; Rubies/Balanchine): July 15th at 8 pm, July 16th at 2 pm SPAC Premieres: Haieff Divertimento (Haieff/Balanchine); The Shaded Line (Tan Dun/Lovette); New Peck (Muhly/Peck): July 16th at 8 pm Gala (In G Major/Robbins; The Man I Love PDD/Balachine); Rubies (Balanchine): July 18th at 8 pm. I'm excited to see the Haieff, which I've never seen before, in the SPAC Premieres program and will probably also go to the 20th Century Masters Program. But on the whole, I'm not thrilled with the programming, especially the 3 Martins SLs. I already bought a lawn pass for the five $5 upgrades (not including the Gala), but I don't think I'll make the same mistake next year. They also usually have one orchestra program with some dance, but not this year. Link to comment

Given there is Balanchine in two programs, I’ll probably go to more than three performances this year in addition to SL. Link to comment
mussel Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I assume the summer season is going to be canceled as well? Any words? Link to comment
FPF Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 There's nothing officially decided yet, but I would personally be surprised if Cuomo allows it to open--he's made remarks in the past few days about not having the state fair or opening the racetrack at Saratoga. This is the latest interview with the SPAC president from a couple of weeks ago. https://www.timesunion.com/entertainment/article/SPAC-CEO-Health-a-top-concern-but-ready-for-15202767.php Link to comment
FPF Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 The Saratoga Jazz Festival at SPAC at the end of June was just officially cancelled (email from SPAC). Things are not looking good for the summer NYBC season. Link to comment
FPF Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 As per email from SPAC and the SPAC website , the NYCB summer season in Saratoga is cancelled. https://spac.org/coronavirus-update/ If you have tickets, there are options to donate, apply to future tickets (good for 5 years), or get a refund.

FPF Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 SPAC is replacing the ballet floor and looking for donations to help fund it after the cancellation of this summer season. The floor was already ordered so that it would be in place for this summer and since it was custom-made, they couldn't cancel the order.
