MTI Concert Dance, a division of Music Theatre International, announced today that the company has entered an agreement to exclusively license a series of works created by renowned choreographer Lynne Taylor-Corbett to professional companies, the third choreographer’s works to be included in the MTI catalogue. The works of José Limón joined the catalogue in February 2026, and more than 60 ballets and theatre dance works by Jerome Robbins were the first choreographic works to be licensed by MTI Concert Dance in September 2024.
“Just as MTI has actively kept musical theater classics alive and thriving, they will use those same talents to sustain the legacy and artistic vision of choreographers worldwide in a way that has never been attempted before.” – Allen Greenberg, Trustee of The Robbins Rights Trust
