New York City Ballet celebrated its 75th anniversary with a gathering of over 300 current and former dancers, including stars like Suzanne Farrell and Edward Villella, alongside dancers born long after the death of the company's founder, George Balanchine. The event marked a milestone for the company, which has faced challenges including a leadership scandal and the impact of the pandemic.
