Declared “America’s National Ballet Company®” by an act of Congress in 2006, American Ballet Theatre has performed annually at the Kennedy Center since we opened our doors. With a depth of talent and the ability to present multiple casts of dancers in leading roles, the celebrated company brings Shakespeare’s tragic play of forbidden love—Romeo and Juliet. Choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan, this version of the classic story had its company premiere at the Kennedy Center in 1985.
