Colorado Ballet has served as the Rocky Mountain region's premier classical dance company since 1961, presenting full-length story ballets alongside contemporary works that push the art form forward. Performing at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver's striking performing arts complex, the company pairs athletic virtuosity with artistic elegance. Its annual Nutcracker has become a beloved Denver holiday tradition, while commissions and community programs extend ballet's reach across the Front Range.
