Universally recognized as one of the world’s preeminent cultural organizations, American Ballet Theatre has been designated by Congress
as America’s National Ballet Company. Long considered a national treasure, ABT upholds the enduring vision of excellence upon which the
Company was founded in 1940. Few dance companies can equal the quality of ABT’s productions, the range of its repertory, or the extent of
its educational programming.
ABT has been home to many of ballet’s legendary stars – Mikhail Baryshnikov, Natalia Makarova, Rudolf Nureyev, Carla Fracci, Gelsey Kirkland,
Alicia Alonso, and Fernando Bujones – and is well known for its lavish productions of full-length ballets such as Swan Lake, Giselle, La Bayadère,
and Romeo and Juliet. With a Company of 86 of the world’s finest dancers, ABT performs for audiences of over 400,000 each year in
New York City, across the country, and around the world.
