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

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.

Perhaps ABT's disclaimer in the program notes should have simply said: "When you watch Le Corsaire, prepare to be both offended and entertained. We hope you'll be more entertained than offended."

It’s full of rich characters and a great story that weaves farce, tragedy, exotic music, and outstanding stagecraft together into an experience that takes you away.

Ratmansky is at the top of his game as a story-teller with this loving recreation of The Golden Cockerel.

ABT has always been a place where stars shine brightest and this night had a whole constellation of them.
