ABT's star-studded roster of dancers, combined with the dynamic vision of Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky (Whipped Cream, Serenade after Plato's Symposium), has garnered critical acclaim for the company across global audiences. The D.C. premiere of Ratmansky's retelling of Marius Petipa's 19th-century comic ballet follows its New York world premiere in summer 2018.

Performances: Jan 29 - Feb 2 @7:30pm. Feb 2 & 3 @1:30pm

ABT presents the D.C. premiere of Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky's retelling of Harlequinade. Playful costumes and vivid sets create a charming tribute to the Italian commedia dell’arte style, known for its slapstick humor and rollicking characters.
