American Ballet Theatre

Recognised by an act of the United States Congress as America’s National Ballet Company®, American Ballet Theatre is one of the great dance companies in the world.  Few ballet companies equal ABT for its combination of size, scope and outreach.  Founded in 1940, ABT performs for more than 300,000 people annually.

It has made more than 30 international tours to 45 countries and has been sponsored by the State Department of the United States on many of these engagements.  In keeping with its long-standing commitment to bringing the finest in dance to the widest possible audience, ABT has recently enjoyed triumphant successes with engagements in Hong Kong, Brisbane, Singapore, Oman and Paris.
