About This Performance
American Ballet Theatre presents Sylvia, Léo Delibes' enchanting 1876 ballet that tells the mythological tale of the huntress Sylvia and her romance with the shepherd Aminta. This full-length classical ballet, with its lush orchestral score and demanding choreography, represents one of the great achievements of 19th-century ballet. The work has been reimagined by various choreographers over the decades, each bringing fresh interpretation to this story of love, jealousy, and divine intervention set in ancient Arcadia.
Expect an evening of classical ballet at its most refined, featuring ABT's world-renowned dancers in a production that showcases both technical virtuosity and dramatic storytelling. The ballet's sweeping melodies and intricate pas de deux provide the perfect canvas for displays of classical technique, while the mythological narrative offers rich character development and theatrical moments. This is an ideal choice for ballet enthusiasts and newcomers alike, offering the grandeur and accessibility that makes ABT one of America's premier ballet companies.
The production travels between two of America's most prestigious venues for dance. The Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center, ABT's home theater, provides the perfect setting with its grand scale and exceptional acoustics, while the Segerstrom Center's elegant Segerstrom Hall offers West Coast audiences the chance to experience this classical masterpiece in one of the finest performing arts facilities in California.
