History
Irish Theatre Ballet was founded by Joan Denise Moriarty in 1959 with Marie Rambert as its patron. The company's first performance took place in December 1959. The company received modest funding from the Arts Council, but depended heavily on private sponsors for its survival. In 1963, to resolve the company's financial problems, the Arts Council insisted on its amalgamation with Patricia Ryan's National Ballet Company in Dublin.
