About This Event
At the American Ballet Theatre, the company presents Lar Lubovitch's Othello: A Dance in Three Acts, set to an original score by Elliot B. Goldenthal. The evening also features choreography by John Cranko, whose Onegin is a regular in ABT's repertory.
About Onegin(ballet)
John Cranko’s *Onegin*, now in American Ballet Theatre’s New York season, turns Pushkin’s verse novel into a narrative ballet about misread feeling, social restraint, and consequences that arrive too late. Tchaikovsky’s music, reworked and stitched into a dramatic score, drives a world of letters, duels, and time jumps rather than set-piece display. In NYC, ABT’s long-running association with the work has helped keep mid‑century story ballet present alongside newer repertory. Cranko’s plainspoken staging treats regret as action, not atmosphere.
