The National Theatre Ballet ensemble is comprised of the best dancers from the Czech Republic. Renowned choreographers Jiri Kylian and Petr Zuska have worked with the theater to present the following dynamic contemporary performances:
 
D.M.J. 1953–1977: The name of the ballet represents the initials of three great Czech composers, Antonin Dvorak, Bohuslav Martinu and Leos Janacek. This work draws in the audience with its powerful combination of Czech music and impressive choreography.

Petite Mort: Jiri Kylian chose the slow parts of Mozart’s most beautiful piano concertos. The work is driven more by symbolism than story line. Tenderness, fragility, aggression, sexuality, energy, silence, and vulnerability—all play a significant part.

Sinfonietta: This five-movement ballet has its own spirit, from folkloric moods to dream-like visions. The choreography is a brilliant consonance of dance and music, bringing to life an image of a world somewhere between abstraction and realism.
