"The Auditorium Theatre is grateful for all the support we've received during our closure, and we wanted an exciting way to say 'Thank You'," said Auditorium Theatre CEO Rich Regan. "American Ballet Theatre is a great partner of ours, and we are delighted to offer this evening of incredible dance as our gift to Chicago."

"The Auditorium Theatre has been a foundation in Chicago's cultural landscape for over 131 years, and has survived many trials-including the pandemic of 1918!" said Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events Commissioner Mark Kelly. "I am delighted they are bringing live ballet back to the city with ABT Across America, and I look forward to their reopening this fall."
