The Israel Ballet is a dance company that performs works of classical ballet and neoclassical ballet. The company often stages newly choreographed works, and in addition, it is the only professional ballet company within Israel that stages works of the classical international repertoire. The Israel Ballet regularly tours internationally.

The company resides in the new Israel Ballet center in Tel Aviv, equipped with the biggest rehearsal hall in Israel with 250 seats. The Israel Ballet represented Israel in tours around the world and in important festivals in Europe, Asia and America.

History

Founders Berta Yampolsky and Hillel Markman gave the first performance of the Israel Ballet on January 25, 1967, with a group of four young dancers, in Holon. George Balanchine granted permission to perform his work Serenade in 1975, and in 1981 he gave free performance rights to all of his works to the company.^[2]

The Classical Ballet Center

The Israel Ballet has its own facilities in Tel Aviv. These facilities include a formal school of ballet, called The Classical Ballet Center, that is the leading Israeli institute.

Repertoire

The Israel Ballet has many

La Valse, Concerto Barocco and The Four Temperaments. Also in the repertoire are modern works by choreographers such as Christian Spuck, Rudi van Danzig, Jan Lincolns, Lar Lubovitch, and Krzysztof Pastor.^[3]

The company also has many original works in its repertoire by Artistic Director Berta Yampolsky. Besides her original works, Yampolsky has created new choreography for

Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker. The Israel Ballet has a number of full-length classical ballets in its repertoire, including Onegin, Giselle, Don Quixote, Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella.^[4]

The Israel Ballet recently added a well-received new modern work to its repertoire, the "post-Forsyth" Hikarizatto by Itzik Galili.^[5]
