Despite the best preservation efforts by ABT’s incredible
wardrobe department, each time the Company dons the intricate costumes
of this exquisite production the fabric fades, beads loosen, and
trims fray. After 20 years of performances and touring, the impact
on these delicate garments is substantial.
Dedicated to the restoration, replacement, and archiving of costumes,
the Costume Fund has refurbished or replaced over 200 costumes in
the Company’s repertoire. The supporters of the Costume Fund
are able to see first hand the impact of their generosity in our
productions of Giselle, Romeo & Juliet, and Symphonie Concertante.
This year the Costume Fund will restore the costumes that capture
Basilio’s youthful passion, the Spanish Ladies’ vivacity
and the Toreadors’ gallantry. We invite you to take an active
role in the Company’s performance and help us bring the costumes
of Don Quixote back to their former brilliance.
