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.

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.

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.

After 50 years, MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet remains the standard by which all others are judged.

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