Avery Fisher Hall: Oct 7-10, 2009

This fall, ABT brings three bold premieres center stage from three of today’s visionary choreographers: ABT’s Artist in Residence, Alexei Ratmansky creates a new, intimate work inspired by the brilliant piano sonatas of the Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti; Benjamin Millepied, who New York Magazine recently called “one of ballet’s most promising young choreographers,” conceives a large ensemble piece for eight ABT couples; and Canadian Aszure Barton, who has developed energetic, often riotously complex choreography, crafts her premiere set to a Violin Sonata by Maurice Ravel. Plus, ABT offers two repertory encores in Jerome Robbins’ stylish and romantic Other Dances and Clark Tippet’s witty and probing pas de deux,
Some Assembly Required.

All performed with the dramatic artistry and thrilling bravura of ABT’s world-class dancers for ONE WEEK ONLY at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall. Reserve your group’s seats today for the new and noteworthy in dance this fall.
