American Ballet Theatre

American Ballet Theatre (ABT) is one of the world’s great ballet companies.

“America’s National Ballet Company®” is more traditional than some of NYC’s other ballet companies. It is a leader in ballet diversity.

ABT dances a brief fall season at the David H Koch Theater and a longer summer season at the Metropolitan Opera House, both in Lincoln Center.
