March 19-22 @ the Auditorium Theatre (CHICAGO, IL) – American Ballet Theatre (ABT) returns to the Auditorium Theatre with Celebrating 80 Years! from March 19-22, 2020, the second engagement in the Company's four- year residency at the National Historic Landmark. The Company celebrates its 80th anniversary with a mixed repertory program featuring works from throughout its history, showcasing the best in classic and contemporary ballet. Principal dancers Isabella Boylston, Misty Copeland, Herman Cornejo, Sarah Lane, Hee Seo, Christine Shevchenko, Cory Stearns, Devon Teuscher, and James Whiteside are all scheduled to perform. Stella Abrera makes her final Chicago appearances with the Company before her retirement during this engagement. ABT’s program at the Auditorium features Antony Tudor's Jardin aux Lilas, performed by the Company in its first-ever season in 1940; Natalia Makarova's staging of the classic "Kingdom of the Shades" scene from Marius Petipa's La Bayadère, premiered by the company during its 40th anniversary season in 1980; and Twyla Tharp's electrifying Deuce Coupe, which will have its Chicago company premiere in March. "American Ballet Theatre first performed at the Auditorium Theatre more than 50 years ago, when the theatre had not yet celebrated 100 years and ABT was not yet in its 30th season,” says Rich Regan, Auditorium Theatre CEO. “We are thrilled to have this legendary company perform on our legendary stage as both the Auditorium and ABT reach significant milestones, with the Auditorium celebrating its 130th anniversary and ABT turning 80.” The breathtaking “Kingdom of the Shades” scene from Marius Petipa’s La Bayadère, restaged by Makarova, opens the program. After the warrior Solor loses his love Nikiya to a deadly snake bite, he hallucinates their reunion in the Kingdom of the Shades, an elaborate scene that features 24 ballerinas dancing in perfect unison. The scene is considered “one of the most famous and poetic expressions in all of classical ballet … in which a seemingly endless stream of dancers in ghostly white tutus forms a hypnotic spectacle of precision and heavenly harmony” (The Washington Post). Jardin aux Lilas, by ABT founding choreographer Antony Tudor, follows the story of Caroline, a woman attending a party thrown in honor of her wedding. At the party, both Caroline and her future husband – who are marrying for convenience – bid farewell to their former lovers. Tudor’s choreography, called “a masterwork of contemporary ballet” (The New York Times) explores human relationships with great subtlety, using quick gestures and movements to convey grand emotions. Twyla Tharp’s Deuce Coupe, set to music by The Beach Boys, juxtaposes ballet movement with contemporary dance, creating a singular theatrical piece of dynamic spontaneity that contrasts classical ballet vocabulary with the playful sounds of the 1960s and 70s. The work was originally created for The Joffrey Ballet and premiered at the Auditorium Theatre in 1973. ABT added the work to its repertory in 2019, resurrecting it for “the current generation, who danced it with daring and aplomb, making it a hit all over again” (The New York Times).

  • Throw Together a Night of Performances by International
    Throw together a night of performances by international dancers, sprinkle in some teenage competition winners’ solos, and call it something cute: That would seem to be the recipe for Youth America Grand Prix’s “Stars of Today Meet the Stars of Tomorrow” gala, happening this Thursday and Friday at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Except, the name of this annual program is eerily prescient. When you look back at the lists of YAGP medalists from the past 15 years, that “Stars of Tomorrow” moniker is spot-on. They read like something of a Who’s Who of ballet—including several top names who’ve been highlighted in Dance Magazine. Back in 2002, Sarah Lane nabbed the senior bronze medal with an unforgettable performance: After her music stopped 20 seconds into her Paquita variation, she finished the rest in silence. In the audience (which erupted into a spontaneous standing ovation) was American Ballet Theatre artistic director Kevin McKenzie. We ended up putting Lane onDance Magazine‘s cover in June 2007 just before he promoted her to soloist. Jim Nowakowski won the Youth Grand Prix in 2002 before joining Houston Ballet, then took a star turn on “So You Think You Can Dance.” We named him one of Dance Magazine‘s “25 to Watch” this year. That same year, Brooklyn Mack placed third in the classical dance category for senior men. Today, he’s a standout dancer at The Washington Ballet, and partnered Misty Copeland in her first U.S. performance of Swan Lake. Hee Seo took the Grand Prix in 2003.
