Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo—celebrating their 50th anniversary season in 2024—brings its internationally beloved troupe of male dancers to the stage to perform a brilliant combination of skillful pointe work and hilarious parodying of classical ballet favorites like Swan Lake.

Founded in New York City in 1974, the company, affectionately known as the Trocks, began by appearing in late-late shows in off-off Broadway lofts for small audiences who appreciated the iconoclastic humor of it all.

Since then, the company has grown to achieve great appeal among more mainstream audiences who, each season, flock to theaters throughout the world to see these prima ballerinas perform. The Trocks are “a guaranteed hoot for people who know nothing of ballet and an absolute must for those who think they know the originals” (Sydney Star Observer).
