About This Event
At the American Ballet Theatre, the company stages Lar Lubovitch’s Othello: A Dance in Three Acts, set to an original score by Elliot B. Goldenthal. The program also includes work by Frederick Ashton, presented with support from The Frederick Ashton Foundation, placing Ashton’s Sylvia alongside ABT repertory and highlighting the company’s engagement with choreographic legacy.
About Sylvia(ballet)
At American Ballet Theatre, *Sylvia* returns as a full-length classical ballet shaped by Léo Delibes’s score and a lineage of choreography that includes Frederick Ashton. The story draws on myth: a nymph devoted to Diana is pulled between duty, desire, and the disruptions of love and mischief. In ABT’s current programming, it sits alongside Ashton repertory staged with the Frederick Ashton Foundation, placing British choreographic craft in dialogue with a New York company’s classical identity. Its enduring value lies in how clean academic steps are made to read as character and plot.
