After three years, American Ballet Theatre returns to the Metropolitan Opera House stage for a glorious 2022 Summer Season. Showcasing a program full of unforgettable love stories, ABT’s Summer season includes old and new favorites, including Don Quixote, Romeo and Juliet, and the New York Premiere of Alexei Ratmansky’s Of Love and Rage. And after 30 remarkable years, the company bids adieu to renowned Artistic Director, Kevin Mackenzie, whose chorographical works will also be displayed within these works, a loving recognition of his dedication to the company.
