American Ballet Theatre - New York NY

During the late 1940s, in the aftermath of WWII, whilst Americans were being manipulated into developing an abhorrence of Communism due to McCarthyism, they were wholeheartedly embracing another Russian tradition. Ballet, like many other art forms, has the power to transcend barriers of demonization and marginalization. The American Ballet Theater has been embodying this classical tradition for more than 7 decades and performances similar to the upcoming American Ballet Theatre New York NY one aptly showcase its scintillating repertoire.

 
Being established in the same year in which the world went to war the second time around, the American Ballet Theater was fashioned around the full-length nineteenth century ballet pieces such as The Sleeping Beauty, Swan lake, The Nutcracker and Giselle as well as notable works of the early 1900s such as Les Sylphides and Rodeo.

 
Under the leadership of Ballet Director Lucia Chase and scenic designer Oliver Smith for the first 40 years of its existence, the American Ballet Theater came to be recognized alongside the New York City Ballet and the San Francisco Ballet. The American Ballet Theatre New York NY event will be a befitting tribute to the performing legacy of the company that spans all fifty US states and 132 cities across 42 countries, leaving more than 600,000 people spellbound in its wake.

 
2006 saw American Ballet Company be recognized as the National Ballet Company of America through an act of the Congress.
