Swans, sword fights, and toreadors will take center stage as ABTKids comes to the Metropolitan Opera House. Hosted by ABT Principal Dancer James Whiteside, ABTKids provides a narrated hour-long introduction to ballet for children ages 5-12 and their families. An ASL interpreter will be provided.
This season’s ABTKids performance will serve up bite-sized excerpts of works from ABT’s Summer season including Swan Lake, Don Quixote, and Romeo and Juliet. In a tribute to the red, white, and blue, the performance will also include George Balanchine’s Stars and Stripes pas de deux. Throughout the program, audience members will be treated to a live orchestra playing famous compositions by Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky, Ludwig Minkus, Sergei Prokofiev, and John Philip Sousa.
