History
The National Ballet was formed in 1963 through the amalgamation of Joan Denise Moriarty's Irish Theatre Ballet and the National Ballet Company directed by Patricia Ryan. Moriarty and Ryan were appointed co-directors of the company, but the two women and their visions for ballet were radically different, and the company disbanded in 1964, shortly after its first season.
