One of the most acclaimed American choreographers, Mark Morris offers a world premiere of his third ABT commission accompanied by a live performance of Johann Nepomuk Hummel's chamber work, Septet in C,op. 114, "The Military," with all-new costumes by Isaac Mizrahi, and lighting design by Michael Chybowski. Morris' choreography was last seen at the Fisher Center in SummerScape 2008's Romeo & Juliet, on Motifs of Shakespeare and in 2006 with Morris' holiday classic The Hard Nut. American Ballet Theatre is recognized as one of the great dance companies in the world. Few ballet companies equal ABT for its combination of size, scope, and outreach. Recognized as a living national treasure since its founding in 1940, ABT annually tours the United States, performing for more than 450,000 people, and is the only major cultural institution to do so. It has also made more than 30 international tours to 42 countries as perhaps the most representative American ballet company and has been sponsored by the United States State Department on many of these engagements.
