    In 1999 Boston Ballet premiered Christopher Wheeldon's Corybantic Ecstasies, his first project for Boston Ballet. The young choreographer was still at the height of his performing career as a soloist with New York City Ballet when he came to Boston to create the piece. Wheeldon's other pieces for Boston Ballet included Firebird (1999) and The Four Seasons (2000).
