This forward-looking program celebrates the spirit of innovation that has always propelled ABT. It features a world premiere by Brazilian choreographer Juliano Nunes, whose emotive, sculptural movement vocabulary is reshaping contemporary ballet. Christopher Wheeldon’s Serenade after Plato’s Symposium offers a modern, philosophical take on male camaraderie, while George Balanchine’s exuberant Theme and Variations honors the grandeur of Imperial Russian ballet.
