Kennedy Center Offers Special Priced Tickets to the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE

The Kennedy Center is offering specially priced tickets to the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE for select performances. Tickets will be priced at $29 and $49 as opposed to the typical price of up to $99.

American Ballet Theatre returns to the Opera House with La Bayadère and a mixed repertory program of new works and classics.

Makarova's staging of Petipa's great Russian classic La Bayadère is a glorious epic of eternal love and godly revenge. La Bayadère offers tour de force performances by ABT principal dancers as the tale's doomed temple dancer Nikiya, Solor the warrior who betrays her, and her archrival Gamzatti. The ballet also features the famed vision of the "Kingdom of the Shades," showcasing the corps de ballet in gossamer white tutus, filling the stage in perfect unison, as sublime as spirits arriving from the afterlife.

$29 offer valid for 1/31 & 2/1 mixed rep. performances. $49 offer valid for 2/2–2/5 performances of La Bayadère. Orchestra sections only. Buy online or mention code "137063" by phone or at the Box Office. For tickets, click here.
