ABT Presents 'Sylvia' at Segerstrom Center
The American Ballet Theatre (ABT) is set to perform 'Sylvia,' a captivating ballet choreographed by Frederick Ashton, at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, California. This enchanting production, featuring music by Léo Delibes, transports audiences to a mythical Greece where the deity Eros helps unite the nymph Sylvia with the shepherd Aminta. With a running time of 119 minutes, the ballet showcases the beauty of love amidst a backdrop of otherworldly creatures and lush forests.
Delibes' score for 'Sylvia' is so exquisite that Tchaikovsky famously remarked he would have never composed 'Swan Lake' had he known of its existence. This performance is part of the Ashton Worldwide 2024–2028 festival, celebrating the legacy of one of ballet's most influential choreographers. Don't miss this opportunity to witness a classic ballet that has captivated audiences for generations.
