In Classic Style

"This oversized, deluxe volume celebrating the exquisite spectacle that embodies the excellence of American Ballet Theatre, recognized by Congress as "America's national ballet company," presents the unfolding beauty, grace, agility, and sheer force of its most recent productions. For over sixty-five years, the dance company has awed fans and critics with its magnificent theatrical repertoire. Distinguished photographer Nancy Ellison depicts such enduring ballet classics as Romeo and Juliet, Swan Lake, and Giselle, and captures the virtuosity of such unforgettable dancers as Angel Corella, Nina Ananiashvili, Alessandra Ferri, Julio Bocca, and Ethan Stiefel. ABT's Artistic Director, Kevin McKenzie, and Executive Director, Rachel S. Moore, have contributed illuminating essays about this preeminent company. The combination of dynamic bravura dancing in dreamlike settings will be a sheer delight to ballet lovers everywhere."--Jacket.
