As America’s National Ballet Company®, we know we will play an important role in healing our nation on the other side of this crisis.”Īmerican Ballet Theatre’s 2020 Spring season was curated to celebrate the Company’s 80th Anniversary with programs paying tribute to ABT’s vibrant history and bright future. We look forward to the day when ABT’s artists can come together to train, create, and collaborate, as well as when we can astonish, delight, and transport audiences once again, in New York City and beyond. We have never been prouder of the Company’s camaraderie, unity, and optimism. “Right now, members of the ABT community are #AloneButTogether, doing our part to stop the spread of the coronavirus through social distancing.
“While the impossibility of proceeding with our season is deeply painful, protecting the health and well-being of our ABT artists, crew, musicians, staff, and audience members is paramount,” said Barnett. The cancellation, necessitated by the public health crisis arising from the coronavirus pandemic, was announced today by Artistic Director Kevin McKenzie and Executive Director Kara Medoff Barnett. The season, marking the Company’s 80th Anniversary, was scheduled for May 11–July 4, 2020. American Ballet Theatre announced last week the cancellation of its 2020 season at the Metropolitan Opera House.
