DESCRIPTION:Jun 17 - Jul 18\, 2026\nAmerican Ballet Theatre’s five-week e
 ngagement at the Metropolitan Opera House opens and closes with Swan Lake
 —seven in June\; eight in July. The first of Tchaikovsky’s three great
  ballet scores\, it was his most romantic and also his least favorite. Whe
 n the composer finally heard the ballet Sylvia\, written with such a light
  touch by the Frenchman Léo Delibes and premiered a year before Swan Lake
 \, he told a friend\, “Had I known of this music\, I would have never wr
 itten Swan Lake.” And yet\, it is still Swan Lake that spells B-A-L-L-E-
 T to most people. Giving us a chance to hear what Tchaikovsky so admired\,
  ABT performs Sylvia from July 9 to 11\, a production choreographed by Sir
  Frederick Ashton in 1952. In between\, there’s one week of Onegin (June
  23 to 27) and another of Don Quixote (June 29 to July 7)—a new producti
 on staged by Susan Jaffe and Susan Jones.
