RODEO CHOREOGRAPHY BY AGNES DE MILLE MUSIC BY AARON COPLAND Agnes de Mille’s humorous love story about a tomboyish cowgirl in the pioneer West is an American classic. This audience favorite is set to Copland’s spirited score, including the famed “Hoedown,” and features costume designs by Tony® Award-winner Santo Loquasto. THE LEAVES ARE FADING CHOREOGRAPHY BY ANTONY TUDOR MUSIC BY ANTONIN DVORAK Commissioned by ABT, The Leaves Are Fading is a haunting meditation of youthful romance and time’s bittersweet passing, set to Dvorak’s ravishing score. This was one of Tudor’s last ballets, and it remains one of the major works in the choreographer’s remarkable canon. IN THE UPPER ROOM CHOREOGRAPHY BY TWYLA THARP MUSIC BY PHILIP GLASS Experience an astonishing adrenalin rush with this marathon of exhilarating locomotion. From precise geometric patterns to seemingly free-form motion, Tharp’s rigorous choreography demands something akin to Olympic perfection. THE MOOR’S PAVANE CHOREOGRAPHY BY JOSÉ LIMÓN MUSIC BY HENRY PURCELL Considered Limón’s masterwork, The Moor’s Pavane beautifully distills in one act the passion and dramatic arc of Shakespeare’s Othello. Performed to a stately Renaissance court dance, this psychological thriller inevitably reaches its heartbreaking climax as the noble Othello succumbs to Iago’s treachery. DRINK TO ME ONLY WITH THINE EYES CHOREOGRAPHY BY MARK MORRIS MUSIC BY VIRGIL THOMSON The witty, romantic piano etudes of Virgil Thomson are echoed in Mark Morris’ valentine to classical ballet. From voluptuous, rippling torsos and arms to majestic tableaux of heart-stopping beauty, this inventive ballet is pure pleasure. PAS DE DEUX FROM CRUEL WORLD CHOREOGRAPHY BY JAMES KUDELKA MUSIC BY PETER ILYITCH TCHAIKOVSKY Choreographer James Kudelka’s tremendously moving pas de deux is danced to a hauntingly romantic Tchaikovsky melody from the composer’s famed Souvenir de Florence. “It is a near-perfect ballet and a total triumph.” – The New York Times PAS DE DEUX FROM STARS AND STRIPES CHOREOGRAPHY BY GEORGE BALANCHINE MUSIC BY JOHN PHILIP SOUSA In its ABT Company Premiere, the pas de deux from George Balanchine’s Stars and Stripes is an exuberant spectacle studded with tongue-in-cheek humor and dazzlingly virtuosic choreography, set to John Philip Sousa’s rousing marches. ALEXEI RATMANSKY WORLD PREMIERE MUSIC BY DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH Be there from the start! ABT Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky embarks on an exploration of the symphonic music from esteemed Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, culminating in a full-evening of three one-act ballets during ABT's 2013 Spring Season at the Met. This fall, Mr. Ratmansky offers the first of this triumvirate set to what many consider Shostakovich's most classical symphony — the jaunty, mercurial Ninth.
