Item Description

Three pairs of tickets to the following American Ballet Theatre performances at The Metropolitan Opera:

Tuesday, May 23rd - Whipped Cream

A dollop of delightful whimsy, this thoroughly inventive full-length premiere springs from the imagination of Artist-in-Residence Alexei Ratmansky and pop surrealist visionary Mark Ryden. In this fantastical confection, a young boy overindulges at a Viennese pastry shop and falls into a delirium. To help him escape from his attending physician, the boy dreams of his triumphant rescue by Princess Praline and her court, including Princess Tea Flower and Prince Coffee, as well as marching Marzipan, with a festive celebration in conclusion.

Tuesday, June 6th - Le Corsaire

Discover a treasure trove of virtuoso dancing in this swashbuckling comedy! This exotic fable of a dashing pirate’s love for a beautiful harem girl presents a tapestry of captive maidens, rich sultans, suspenseful abductions, and dramatic rescues—culminating in a shipwreck that’s one of the most breathtaking spectacles in all of ballet. Boasting over 120 performers, Le Corsaire perfectly showcases explosive bravura dancing from ABT’s star-studded roster of dancers.

Tuesday, June 13th - Swan Lake

Of all the great classics performed by ABT today, Swan Lake remains the quintessential ballet, the one that defines the standards of the Company, tests its dancers, and ennobles the spirit of the audience. This romantic fable of ill-fated passion, dreamlike transformation, and ultimate forgiveness is set to Tchaikovsky’s glorious score. With breathtaking choreography and visually magnificent sets evoking a Renaissance court, the fabled lake of the swans rises into view, inspiring awe for generations to come.
