Here at PNB, we’re loving the “Millennial vs Gen Z Marketing” trend, where flowery millennial language is put head to head with snappy (and silly) Gen Z slang. We decided to take on the trend and highlight our upcoming season. Regardless of who does it better (Millennials or Gen Z’ers), our 2026/27 Season is guaranteed to be iconic!

SERENADE runs September 25 – October 4, 2026 and features George Balanchine’s Serenade, PNB Resident Choreographer Jessica Lang’s world premiere Pages, and Alexei Ratmansky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.

GHOST STORIES runs November 6 – 15, 2026, and features Alejandro Cerrudo’ Silent Ghost and PACOPEPEPLUTO, PNB Principal dancer Kyle Davis’ world premiere The Raven, and George Balanchine’s La Sonnambula.
