The Louisville Ballet

Louisville Ballet, the Official State Ballet of Kentucky, has been a cornerstone of the city's cultural landscape since its founding in March 1952. As one of the most highly-regarded regional ballet companies in the country, we are committed to showcasing the versatility and relevance of ballet. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Leslie Smart and Artistic Directors Mikelle Bruzina and Harald Uwe Kern, we strive to present a diverse range of productions that cater to a broad audience. Our season offerings include beloved traditions, world premieres, and inspiring stories of love, hope, and magic.
