American Ballet Theatre 2015

American Ballet Theatre returns to the Metropolitan Opera House for its 75th-anniversary season. The highlight is the New York premiere of Alexei Ratmansky's The Sleeping Beauty, with scenery and costumes by Richard Hudson, who based his designs on those of Léon Bakst. In addition to an assortment of full-lengths—Othello, Swan Lake, Giselle, Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella—the run highlights historic company repertory, including Michel Fokine's Les Sylphides, George Balanchine's Theme and Variations, and Antony Tudor's Pillar of Fire and Jardin aux Lilas.
