Ballet Imperial is presented by American Ballet Theatre as part of the 2026 Neoclassical Works program at David H. Koch Theater. The bill combines works that draw on earlier ballet traditions with newer choreography, and Ballet Imperial is the third work in the listed program. It is a classical ballet in three movements choreographed by George Balanchine and set to Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 2 in G for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 44. The ballet pays homage to Russian ballet and evokes the scale and style associated with the era of the Imperial Ballet. The production credits Colleen Neary as stager, Jean-Marc Puissant for stage and costume design, and Mark Stanley for lighting. The running time is 38 minutes.
