Join us for special events at our newly-expanded Center for Dance at 323 North Broad Street, including an elegant gala evening and a FREE open house for the whole family!
Thursday, September 17: Spotlight Soirée Gala
Philadelphia Ballet’s Spotlight Soirée Gala is the signature upscale event of the season. The evening will begin with a VIP cocktail reception for Grand Opening Celebration sponsors and an awards ceremony in our new Dance Innovation Lab.
Guests will then experience four floors of newly unveiled and reimagined spaces, transformed for an unforgettable, immersive gala. The evening will feature stunning performances by Philadelphia Ballet artists, curated culinary stations, live music, self-guided tours, and rare behind-the-scenes access to our artists and staff in action. The night will wrap up with a high-energy dance party. At the Spotlight Soirée Gala, guests will fully experience and explore all that the new Center for Dance has to offer.
Grand Opening Celebration sponsorship packages and Spotlight Soirée Gala tickets are now available!
Elected officials and local media will join Philadelphia Ballet leadership, sponsors, and partners in a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the official opening of our campus.
Please note that due to limited capacity, the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony is reserved for invited guests only.
Saturday, September 19: Open House and Community Celebration
We will open our doors from noon to 5:00 PM and invite everyone to discover the new Center for Dance! Our Open House and Community Celebration is free and open to the public, and promises to be a historic celebration for Philadelphia Ballet and our city.
We look forward to welcoming one and all with hands-on activities, performances by Philadelphia Ballet artists and School of Philadelphia Ballet students, collaborations with community partners, and interactive fun for all ages.
