Karen Morell's professional career began when she auditioned with the New York City Ballet for the San Francisco production of The Nutcracker when just a child. By 16 she was living in New York and had several local performances to her credit. In 1961, she completed her first professional engagement with the Metropolitan Opera and went on to perform with Ruth Page's Chicago Opera Ballet until she joined George Balanchine's New York City Ballet. Ten years later she moved to Europe where she joined the Het Nationale Ballet Company. During her performing career she danced in many of the larger opera houses in the world. In 1976 she was the recipient of the Fulbright/Hayes Scholarship and set a precedent by becoming the first American to be accepted to, and graduate from, The Vaganova Choreographic Institute located in Leningrad, USSR.
