美國芭蕾舞團(簡稱ABT)公認為世界最好的舞團之一。極少舞團具備其同等規模與觸角廣度。1940年創團起便被視為活文化國寶，ABT為唯一於美國年度巡演的文化團體，觀賞人數已超過六十萬人次。ABT已至四十二個國家巡演，超過三十次的海外演出，可謂最具代表性的美國芭蕾舞團體。
1939年秋天ABT構思發展目標，期許能改編過去芭蕾舞劇並鼓勵各地年輕編舞家編創新作。1940年Lucia Chase與Richard Pleasant共同創立ABT，1945-1980 年Chase 與Oliver Smith擔任藝術總監，ABT成就遠超越當初目標。其芭蕾舞碼創作無以倫比，包含十九世紀全本芭蕾舞劇如《天鵝湖Swan Lake,》《睡美人The Sleeping Beauty》與《吉賽兒Giselle》，本世紀早期最佳作品如《阿波羅Apollo》、《仙女Les Sylphides》、《丁香園Jardin aux Lilas》與《馬術賽會Rodeo》，及當代作品集如《Airs》、《Push Comes to Shove》與《Duets》。為取得出色舞碼，ABT與George Balanchine, Antony Tudor, Jerome Robbins, Agnes de Mille, Twyla Tharp等二十世紀編舞奇才合作。 1980年Mikhail Baryshnikov接任ABT藝術總監。在他領導之下，整個舞團重演與改編無數古典芭蕾舞劇，並經歷古典傳統加強與淬鍊。Baryshnikov後，1990年Jane Hermann與Oliver Smith接任ABT，並致力於維護傳統與追求創新。 1992年10月，ABT前任首席舞者Kevin McKenzie被任命為藝術總監。McKenzie堅信ABT代表美國文化，全力保留舞團龐大的舞碼，帶領舞蹈劇場藝術邁向世界的舞台。七十多年來，ABT巡演ㄧ百三十二的個城市與四十二個國家，走過美國五十大洲。近期於哈瓦那, 倫敦, 北京與漢城等地演出，佳評如潮。 為實踐舞團長久以來呈現完美演出與世界各地觀眾的使命，ABT近期在東京、倫敦、巴黎、北京與漢城演出獲得了空前的成功。2010年11月，ABT並現身慶祝Alicia Alonso九十歲誕辰的哈瓦那國際藝術節。此為繼1960年後，ABT首度造訪古巴的行程。 2006年4月27日於美國國會法案中，美國芭蕾舞團正式成為國家芭蕾舞團。 「開幕之夜- Mix Programme」演出節目 *阿波羅Apollo 編舞：巴藍欽 音樂：史特拉汶斯基 演出：David Hallberg/Veronika Part/Hee Seo/Melanie Hamrick *巴黎火焰雙人舞 Flames of Paris Pas de Deux 編舞：David and Anna-Marie Holmes, from the original by Vasily Vainonen 音樂：Boris Asafiev 演出： Sarah Lane/ Daniil Simkin *Cruel World 雙人舞 編舞：James Kudelka 音樂：柴可夫斯基 演出：Julie Kent/Cory Stearns *Diana & Acteon 雙人舞 編舞：Rudolf Nureyev , from the original by Agrippina Vaganova 音樂：Cesare Pugin 編曲: John Lanchbery 演出：Xiomara Reyes/Herman Cornejo *Thirteen Diversions 編舞：Christopher Wheeldon 音樂：Benjamin Britten - Diversions for Piano and Orchestra 演出：Maria Riccetto / Jared Matthews / Isabella Boylston / Marcelo Gomes / Stella Abrera / Eric Tamm/ Simone Messmer / Alexandre Hammoudi 「長榮交響樂團」現場演出伴奏 指揮：David LaMarche/ Charles Barker / Ormsby Wilkins *主辦單位保有節目內容異動權 American Ballet Theatre is recognized as one of the great dance companies in the world. Few ballet companies equal ABT for its combination of size, scope, and outreach. Recognized as a living national treasure since its founding in 1940, ABT annually tours the United States, performing for more than 600,000 people, and is the only major cultural institution to do so. It has also made more than 30 international tours to 42 countries as perhaps the most representative American ballet company and has been sponsored by the State Department of the United States on many of these engagements. When American Ballet Theatre was launched in the Autumn of 1939, the aim was to develop a repertoire of the best ballets from the past and to encourage the creation of new works by gifted young choreographers, wherever they might be found. Founded in 1940 by Lucia Chase and Richard Pleasant and directed by Chase and Oliver Smith from 1945-1980, the Company more than fulfilled that aim. The repertoire, perhaps unmatched in the history of ballet, includes all of the great full-length ballets of the nineteenth century, such as Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and Giselle, the finest works from the early part of this century, such as Apollo, Les Sylphides, Jardin aux Lilas and Rodeo and acclaimed contemporary masterpieces such as Airs, Push Comes to Shove and Duets. In acquiring such an extraordinary repertoire, ABT has commissioned works by all of the great choreographic geniuses of the 20th century: George Balanchine, Antony Tudor, Jerome Robbins, Agnes de Mille and Twyla Tharp, among others. In 1980, Mikhail Baryshnikov became Artistic Director of American Ballet Theatre, succeeding Lucia Chase and Oliver Smith. Under his leadership, numerous classical ballets were staged,restaged and refurbished, and the Company experienced a strengthening and refining of the classical tradition. In 1990, Jane Hermann and Oliver Smith succeeded Baryshnikov and immediately established an agenda that was dedicated to maintaining the great traditions of the past while aggressively pursuing a vital and innovative future. In October 1992, former American Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Kevin McKenzie was appointed Artistic Director. McKenzie, steadfast in his vision of ABT as “American”, is committed to maintaining the Company’s vast repertoire, and to bringing the art of dance theater to the great stages of the world. Over more than 70 years, the Company has appeared in a total of 132 cities in 42 countries. ABT has also appeared in all fifty states of the United States. ABT has recently enjoyed triumphant successes with engagements in Havana, London, Beijing and Seoul In keeping with the Company’s long-standing commitment to bringing the finest in dance to the widest international audience, ABT has recently enjoyed triumphant successes with engagements in Tokyo, London, Paris, Beijing and Seoul. In November 2010, American Ballet Theatre appeared at the Havana International Festival celebrating Alicia Alonso’s 90th birthday. This was the Company’s first visit to Cuba since 1960. On April 27, 2006, by an act of Congress, American Ballet Theatre became America’s National Ballet CompanyR.
