“One of the most beautiful sights in dance is American Ballet Theatre in full flight,” wrote the legendary dance critic Clive Barnes in the New York Post. Recognized as one of the great dance companies in the world, ABT is famed for the artistry of its dancers and the scope of its repertoire. In their first Virginia Arts Festival engagement, ABT will perform one of the most beloved ballets of all time: Giselle. This mystical story of heartbreaking romance provides scene after breathtaking scene of ballet at its best—a must-see for everyone, from the ballet newcomer to the most devoted fan. "To see American Ballet Theatre at its best is to see it in Giselle. This production glows with dramatic life and finely nuanced acting that illuminates ABT's virtuoso dancing" (The New York Times).
