In this Arcadian love story, set in mythical Greece amid a realm of otherworldly creatures and verdant forests, the deity Eros intervenes to unite the nymph Sylvia with the lovelorn shepherd Aminta. The splendid score by Léo Delibes was so admired by Tchaikovsky that he purportedly declared: had he known the music existed at the time, he would never have composed Swan Lake!

This season, American Ballet Theatre presents a series of special evenings with post-performance celebratory toasts. Join us on The Grand Tier immediately following the performance for an exclusive reception. Each event promises a continuation of the night’s enchantment, accessible with the purchase of a separate reception ticket alongside your performance ticket.
