American Ballet Theatre Tickets

My first time at the Auditorium theatre and I found the theatre beautiful, the sound system expansive and exceptional, the staff helpful, gracious and knowledgeable, the crowd well managed. I will certainly recommend and attend furture events that interest me at this theatre. And, then there was the ABT presentation of Giselle -- perfect! For me, the American Ballet Theatre is by far the best and I will see whatever event they present, whether New York, Chicago or Los Angeles! My thanks to ABT and the Auditorium Theatre for an exceptional and memorable event.

Absolutely always wonderful to have ABT in Chicago !! Loved Sleeping Beauty and Loved Gizelle !! The sets, the costumes, and dancers are the best of the best of ballet companies, please come back !!! Bravo !!

One of the loveliest Giselle productions I've seen. In spite of the fact that Hallberg did not dance at the matinee, we were captivated by the talent, strength and symmetry we witnessed. The ABT doesn't get much better than this.

So lovely, beautifully done! Very pleasant experience!

David Halberg and Osipova were phenomenal in their roles. Ms Osipova literally floated when she became a Wili. Look forward to ABT's return

I highly recommend anything by American Ballet Theatre. The dancers are absolutely beautiful. It's enjoyable for all ages, especially if you love classical ballet. I flew home from school in Nashville just to see this performance! Definitely go see ABT!

Giselle is amazing and the dancers exceptional. Last time I saw Giselle it was with Gelsey Kirkland. Paloma Herrera is just as spectacular. The only problem I had, did not even have to do with ballet, it was a bottle of water I purchased. it smelt and tasted bad.

FANTASTIC Hallberg and Osipova are truly talented and mesmerizing to watch!

Awesome performance all the way around! I strongly recommend this.

Osipova is one of the greatest ballerinas! To see her on the stage is a pure joy!

The performance of Giselle by the ABT was wonderful from start to finish. Every moment was beautiful. I'd go to see it again in a heart-beat.

The Auditorium Theatre was as grand as all the other reviewers have stated... as I walked up one level from the main floor to my dress circle seats, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the place. Then when we got to our seats, which were much closer than I'd expected (Row AA of dress circle), I got to take in the whole theatre in its pre-performance golden glow. Simply magnificent. The seats were great; we could see everything very well, save for the expressions on the dancers' faces (good thing they know how to emote with their whole bodies). :) I've attached a pic from our seats. The temperature was just right, as the place was packed and it wasn't stuffy at all. As for the performance themselves, it was a joy to see ABT do Giselle, and seeing two of the world's best dancers headlining (Natalia Osipova and David Hallberg) made it all the more special. Osipova defied gravity as usual with her ridiculously buoyant jumps, and her pique turns at the end of the 1st act variation were breathtakingly rapid. Every time she was on stage, my senses were electrified. And Hallberg was a wonderful Albrecht, with his princely good looks, beautifully shaped legs and feet, and divine jumps. Such a wonderful pair, those two--I consider myself very lucky to have seen them dance together. Wonderful orchestra, too!

Osipova & Hallburg are one of ballet's rare and beautiful pairings. They move as one, they compliment each other and they are almost equals in their technical ability. Osipova is a phenomenon. The effortless motion, the smooth transitions and her incredible strength while still showing great acting ability are a joy to behold. A staggering achievement

Saw the American Ballet Theater dance 'Giselle' on March 24th, 2012 in Chicago, and it was superb. While we here in Chicago are fortunate enough to have the Joffrey Ballet, I never pass up the chance to see the ABT when they are in town. and I'm glad I didn't make an exception this time. I was also fortunate enough afterwards to meet the principals for the performance, Paloma Herrera (Giselle) and Cory Stearns (Albrecht), and they were accomodating (pictures and autographs) and as gracious as two people you'll ever meet. If I could go and see it again tonight, I would. Bravo, ABT!!

It was by far the most remarkable performance I've ever seen!

I thought the performance was wondeful. The percision and execution was simply breath taking. I purchased left lower level box seats...the view was horrible. One couple didn't return after the intermission.

The ballet was wonderful. An unforgettable event in my life. The entire cast was outstanding!!! Loved watching the chemistry between David and Natalia. A wonderful, amazing performance!!

Natalia Osipova, (Bolshoi Ballet), and her partner, David Hallberg (American Ballet Theatre), treated the audience of the Roosevelt Theater Auditorium to a sublime performance of this passionately romantic ballet. While the corps du ballet was in good form, and the soloists of the first act Peasant Pas de Deux charming, it was the principals, who reached an ethereal level of dancing. While each of them is splendid in their own right, together they radiated an exquisite energy and synergy. Hallberg's long, beautiful lines, and gorgeously arched feet perfectly complimented Osipova's generous Russian epaulment and earth-defying ballon.

It had been too long since I last saw ABT live. They are simply amazing. Looking forward to seeing them next time they're in town.

Exquisite in every way. We were two rows away from the stage and have never sat so close for any event. Well worth the price. It's a completely different experience when you can see the sweat on the dancers, and what it takes to have it look effortless and graceful. My husband, who "doesn't like dance" was moved to tears at the end.
