A star was born, and she was launched into the galaxy. Impressive New York debuts in Swan Lake from Chloe Misseldine and Aran Bell.

American Ballet Theatre kicks off its fall season with Ratmansky's culinary creation based on the two-act 1924 ballet, originally created as Schlagobers. 

American Ballet Theatre shows its range with pieces from George Balanchine, Alonzo King, and Jessica Lang, but the dancing and choreography remain uneven throughout. 

Alexei Ratmansky's Ancient Greek take on Bolshoi-style dram-ballets gets its New York premiere as part of American Ballet Theatre's summer season at the Met.

If the audience response was not very enthusiastic, it's because Ratmansky's Sleeping Beauty four years after its premiere still comes across as more of a museum piece than a living, breathing ballet. This is a Beauty that never really wakes up.

Isabella Boylston, here leading ABT's Swan Lake still has that touching vulnerability that makes her so emotionally appealing but there is now also a soaring spirit that can be thrilling.
