Created during Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s tenure as The Royal Ballet’s Artistic Director, this production reflects a rich artistic legacy.  An intense tale of passion, desire, and devastating consequence, Manon remains one of the greatest drama ballets of all time. Set to a masterful arrangement of music by Jules Massenet, the story follows the captivating Manon and her devoted Des Grieux as they are drawn into a world of luxury, temptation, and heartbreak.

Scroll, click, tap, like, repeat. Outside of that, who are you? Journey down the rabbit hole and into Artistic Director Stanton Welch’s vibrant new full-length ballet, Where’s Alice? In a modern world where screens never sleep, Alice ventures into a strange, mercurial realm teeming with fantastical characters inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice stories—driven by a pulsing tapestry of film scores by Grammy Award–winning composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails. From the team that brought you Sylvia and The Nutcracker, Where’s Alice? toes the line between reality and fantasy, inviting you to answer: who in the world am I?

Where's Alice?

One of Stanton Welch’s most powerful works and his first full-length ballet returns to the Wortham Theater stage after more than a decade. Madame Butterfly was originally choreographed in 1995 for The Australian Ballet. Set to Puccini’s powerful score, this production is a stunning achievement in neoclassical ballet and remains an international success, with performances across three continents.

Created on Houston Ballet in 2019 and returning for the first time, Justin Peck’s Reflections is an intimate, abstract work set to a commissioned two-piano score by Grammy-nominated Sufjan Stevens. One of today’s most sought-after choreographers, the Tony Award–winning Peck balances athleticism with symmetry and beauty in a ballet grounded in classical technique.

The Rite of Spring

The world’s most beloved ballet returns to the stage in Stanton Welch’s acclaimed adaptation of Swan Lake. This timeless classic tells the story of Odette, a beautiful maiden transformed into a swan by an evil knight, and the prince who swears his enduring love for her. With expansive choreography, dramatic storytelling, and Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score, Swan Lake remains a quintessential experience for ballet lovers, blending timeless beauty with Houston Ballet’s signature emotional depth. A striking battle of good and evil in black and white, the ballet unfolds on rich and spectacular sets by New Zealand-Australian designer Kristian Fredrikson. Welch’s breathtaking adaptation reaffirms why Swan Lake endures as one of the most powerful and visually arresting works in the classical ballet canon.
