Yesterday was the beginning of the New York City Ballet’s 2010-11 season. Until Sunday, September 19, all of the ballet’s activities will be celebrating their first fall performances, complete with workshops and discussions. New to this season is the David H. Koch Theater opening an one hour before performances, so audience members can enjoy a drink or something to eat outside on the terrace.
