American Ballet Theatre brings back the Ashton classic Sylvia and offers tremendous central performances.

Stunning debut performances from Jake Roxander and Skylar Brandt in Don Quixote for ABT, made it a night to remember.

The fiery return of Don Quixote as ABT continues their summer season has proved to be a vehicle of excellence for multiple casts, many of whom were making role debuts.

ABT's Swan Lake suffered due an obvious lack of rapport between its lead dancers but there was still some fine dancing on offer.

Great novels make bad ballets. There might be exceptions to this rule, but this isn't it. 

The Dream is such a crowdpleaser that one wishes ABT would do this more often in their Met season, but Ballet Imperial needed more time to relax into. 

Kevin McKenzie's production of Swan Lake at ABT usually has little to commend it, but Christine Shevchenko's Odette/Odile is the real deal. 

If you love Jane Eyre, stick to the novel. There's more female empowerment in those pages than in Cathy Marston's choreography.

As the wonderful Tharp trio program proves, all these years later Twyla Tharp can still make ballet look cool.

The Seasons is overstuffed, uneven and way too busy. There are so many steps, but they rarely made me "see the music". It was a frustrating ballet, with so many lovely moments that were less than the sum of its parts.

The single best thing about The Tenant was Frank Moon’s score, played by Moon himself on the piano, violin, and singing.

BalletNOW returns to the Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center in Los Angeles. The production features dancers from six different major ballet companies, but fails to impress.

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.

Heated Passions abound in ABT's Romeo and Juliet. 

Isabella Boylston made an impressive debut in MacMillan's treasured classic amid some fine performances from the supporting cast.

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.

With INTENSIO, a program of new dances he commissioned, Simkin is clearly making a major move.

The moment a mouse peeked out of a stewpot in the kitchen of the Stahlbaum’s kitchen, I knew that the current American Ballet Theatre version of The Nutcracker would keep me engaged all evening.

American Ballet Theatre revives Lar Lubovitch's 1997 Othello with Marcelo Gomes, Julie Kent, James Whiteside, and Stella Abrera in the lead roles. Unfortunately, the formidable dancing and acting could not survive the calamitous score. 

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

Alexei Ratmansky's The Nutcracker for American Ballet Theatre is probably the best one since it was first created. Gillian Murphy and James Whiteside danced with poignant grace and radiant musicality that thrilled the audience.
