Wildly successful in their quest to preserve and extend the great legacy of classical dancing, American Ballet Theatre has garnered a reputation as one of the greatest dance companies in the world ever since its formation in 1939. Experience one of their repertoire classics during their calling card adaptation of Giselle, the apex of romantic ballet modeled on the choreography of ballet masters Jean Coralli, Jules Perrot, and Marius Petipa.

American Ballet Theatre conjures the myth, might, and magic of Frederick Ashton's 1952 imagining of Louis Merante's 1876 three-act ballet Sylvia! Lush costumes, sweeping original stage designs by Robin and Christopher Ironside, and lighting by Mark Jonathan resurrect the tale of the celestial huntress, which is set to a rousing score by Romantic French composer Leo Delibes.
