Twyla Tharp World Premiere
Giselle
with Harald Lander’s Etudes
The epitome of Romantic ballet, this tale of unrequited love perfectly fuses
music, movement and drama. In this universally acclaimed production,
ABT’s unrivalled roster of international ballet stars brings Giselle’s mystery
and ethereal beauty vividly to life.
Celebrating her over twenty-year relationship with ABT, the esteemed Twyla
Tharp creates a thrilling World Premiere, inspired by an ABT-commissioned
score from renowned Hollywood film composer Danny Elfman. Rounding out
the program, Harald Lander’s Etudes is an affectionate and exhilarating tribute
to the very art form of classical dance, set to music by Carl Czerny.
La Bayadère
Amid the sweeping vistas and grand temples of mystical India, Natalia
Makarova’s staging of this great Russian classic is a glorious epic of eternal
love and godly revenge. La Bayadère features the famed vision of the “Kingdom
of the Shades,” showcasing the corps de ballet in gossamer white tutus,
who fill the stage in perfect unison sublime as angels arriving from heaven.
Le Corsaire
Discover a treasure trove of virtuoso dancing in this swashbuckling adventure!
From the Pasha’s dazzling palace to a spectacular shipwreck on a windswept
desert island, this exotic fable of a dashing pirate’s love for a beautiful harem
girl never fails to delight.
Don Quixote
The stage explodes with one show-stopping performance after another in this
feast of choreographic fireworks. Celebrated knight Don Quixote and his devoted
squire, Sancho Panza, are positively heroic when it comes to aiding the spirited
maiden Kitri and her charming amour in Cervantes’ delightful comedy.
3
The Merry Widow
With an intoxicating whirl of elegant ladies, eligible bachelors, Maxim’s famed
can-can dancers and ever-flowing champagne, choreographer Ronald Hynd
perfectly captures the humor and romance of Franz Lehár’s celebrated
operetta, an effervescent tale of suitors seeking the coveted hand of a wealthy
widow in Belle Epoque Paris.
The Sleeping Beauty
The timeless fairy tale of the beautiful Princess Aurora, the evil sorceress
Carabosse, and the awakening kiss of a handsome prince comes to life in
this splendid production. The Sleeping Beauty brings together all of the appeal
of classical ballet—virtuosic choreography, gorgeous sets and costumes,
a beloved story, and Tchaikovsky’s famous score—in one remarkable work.
Swan Lake
Set to Tchaikovsky’s glorious score, this romantic tale of love and forgiveness
is often considered the world’s most beloved ballet. With breathtaking
choreography, lavish costumes and visually spectacular sets evoking
a lakeside Renaissance court, ABT’s production “glides to the forefront
of stagings all over the world.” – The Wall Street Journal
