ABT Ballet Tickets

We are preserving the Elegance: American Ballet Theatre’s 2024/2025 Season.
American Ballet Theatre (ABT), perhaps the most significant classical ballet institution in the United States and maybe the world, takes the mission statement ‘America’s National Ballet Company®’ very seriously. Although it’s a ballet company, in the practical sense, it is also a phenomenon and a cultural mainstay, drawing on the classical canon – putting its best foot forward in tribute to tradition – while embracing the avant-garde.

A Global Stage for Classical Dance

However, the art that is the soul of ABT extends well beyond the footlights. Its true north is the vast community animating all that happens – its staff, international artists, a knowledgeable and engaged Board of Trustees, and a passionate family of volunteers – whose work and play touches the lives of every patron, dancer, audience member, sponsor and student, fostering a wealthy and expanding international family of art enthusiasts and stakeholders.

ABT is rooted in the belief that sharing the transformative power of the performing arts is an unparalleled vehicle for connecting across boundaries. Whether geographic, cultural, linguistic, or socioeconomic, the institution and its education programs aim to inspire positive personal transformation through the universal language of dance.

2024/2025: A Year of Breathtaking Performances

This coming season, ABT returns with a selection of ballets ranging from classical greatest hits to boundary-pushing avant-garde. This commendable range of programming culminates this fall as the company takes over the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center for an eight-week run. This period is highlighted by the momentous return of the delightful Wheeldon’s Alice in Wonderland and an array of pieces featuring the remarkable athleticism and artistry of the company’s dancers.

In addition, the ABT touring schedule highlights the company’s continuing commitment to bolstering accessibility and outreach with the best of the best in ballet, reaching theatre levels across the United States. This keeps dance—which has such a powerful force—beyond the glass ceilings and right in front of ballet fans and newcomers alike.
