The poster announces the first appearance of the New York City Ballet in Cleveland, with four performances presented by the Cleveland Opera Association at the Music Hall. The company had been founded in New York in 1948 under George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, and by the 1960s its touring visits to cities beyond New York drew wide attention. Posters like this one were printed in quantity to build local ticket sales, and the subject line's emphasis on "stars" reflects how such touring engagements were marketed around leading dancers. The piece was produced by Artcraft Litho. & Ptg. Co., a New York commercial lithographer whose work is preserved in the Library of Congress's Artcraft Poster Collection.
