History
While the company was originally founded in 1937 as the Mordkin Ballet, it was reorganized under the direction of Lucia Chase, noted American ballerina, and Richard Pleasant, ballet manager and publicity agent, in 1940 with a new name as the Ballet Theatre. This was a mere six years after Lincoln Kirstein had established his company, which later became the New York City Ballet. With the inroads New York socialite Kirstein had made, the Ballet Theatre was unfettered to develop a repertoire of classic ballets from the past and creative new works by promising young choreographers of the day.
Radio City Music Hall, where the future American Ballet Theatre made its public debut.
The curtain at Radio City’s Center Theater went up on January 11, 1940; the Ballet Theatre took the stage, and history was made. The company, which then billed itself as «America’s First Ballet Theatre Staged by the Greatest Collaboration in History,» would set a new course in American dance. This event sparked 40 years of choreographic strength and exceptional style as ABT was helmed by Lucia Chase and Oliver Smith, one of the most prolific scenic designers in American history.
The repertoire, includes all of the great full-length ballets of the nineteenth century, such as Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and Giselle, the finest works from the early part of this century, such as Apollo, Les Sylphides, Jardin aux Lilas and Rodeo, and acclaimed contemporary masterpieces such as Airs, Push Comes to Shove and Duets. In acquiring such an extraordinary repertoire, ABT has commissioned works by all of the great choreographic geniuses of the twentieth century: George Balanchine, Antony Tudor, Jerome Robbins, Agnes de Mille and Twyla Tharp, among others.
In 1956, the company was christened the American Ballet Theatre, and has kept that name ever since. The Metropolitan Opera House in New York is now home to the American Ballet Theatre. Most notable, in 1960 the company became the first American company to dance in the Soviet Union.
Mikhail Baryshnikov became Artistic Director of American Ballet Theatre in 1980, succeeding Chase and Smith. Under his leadership, numerous classical ballets were staged, restaged and refurbished, and the company experienced a strengthening and refining of the classical tradition. Baryshnikov, who had said he would leave the company by summer 1990, resigned prematurely in September 1989 after a dispute with management and the board over ABT’s finances and the dismissal of one of his staff members.
In 1990, Oliver Smith retained leadership of the company alongside Jane Hermann, who had held administrative positions at the Joffrey Ballet and the EliotFeld Dance Company before joining the Metropolitan Opera Association as a consultant in 1976. The duo immediately established an agenda that was dedicated to maintaining the great traditions of the past while aggressively pursuing a vital and innovative future.
In keeping with the company’s long-standing commitment to bringing the finest in dance to the widest international audience, ABT pursued engagements in Tokyo, London, Paris, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Palermo, Italy, and in Athens and Thessaloniki, Greece.
