Giselle
In a perfect fusion of music, movement and drama, this Romantic
ballet epitomizes the transcendent power of love and forgiveness
in an ABT signature production.

Amid the grand temples of mystical India, this Russian classic is
a glorious epic of eternal love and godly revenge, featuring a breathtaking
showcase of ABT’s corps de ballet in the famed “Kingdom
of the Shades.”
The Bright Stream
Zany and laugh-out-loud funny, Alexei Ratmansky’s masterwork
celebrates the illusory nature of love during a Russian harvest
festival, performed to Shostakovich’s brilliant score. See
The
Bright Stream micro-site for production photos,
videos and more!
Onegin
New Production
Tchaikovsky’s vivid music brings alive the world of Imperial
Russia in this compelling tale of unrequited love, based on Pushkin’s
great verse-novel, Eugene Onegin.
Romeo and Juliet
In Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s masterful interpretation of Shakespeare’s
romantic tragedy, the lyric beauty and passion of star-crossed lovers
are perfectly underscored by Prokofiev’s stirring score.
Swan Lake
Considered the world’s quintessential ballet, this fable of
ill-fated romance, dreamlike transformation and selfless compassion
is performed to Tchaikovsky’s famed score.
Le Corsaire
Discover a treasure trove of virtuoso dancing in this swashbuckling
adventure as a dashing pirate’s love for a beautiful harem
girl journeys through a tapestry of captive maidens, rich sultans,
suspenseful abductions and dramatic rescues.
Firebird New York
Premiere
ABT Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky choreographs an all-new
Firebird, a magical tale of the legendary creature who
helps two noble lovers overcome an evil sorcerer, set to an iridescent
score by Igor Stravinsky. Firebird will be performed in
several mixed repertory programs with such beloved works as Ashton’s
spellbinding, The Dream, Balanchine’s neoclassic
celebration of the god of music and poetry, Apollo, and
the return of last season’s acclaimed ballet by Christopher
Wheeldon, Thirteen Diversions.
