The American Ballet Theatre is a venerable institution also known as America’s National Ballet Company. Their stop through Chicago at the Auditorium Theatre proves that it is a title well-earned and deserved. Opening night was a delight of traditional European-inspired ballet that segued effortlessly into sybaritic and passionate dances to the music of Ennio Morricone and the American Songbook via Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga. ABT is now under the artistic direction of former principal dancer Susan Jaffe, who worked with legends of dance such as Merce Cunningham, Twyla Tharp, and Jerome Robbins.
