ABT Pushes Back World Premiere
The American Ballet Theatre has postponed the world premiere of the Kevin McKenzie-Wynton Marsalis collaboration announced for the New York company’s February engagement at the Orange County Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa.
“The members of the creative artistic team had scheduling conflicts that arose over the summer, and it became apparent we were not going to get the production into rehearsal and complete in time,” an ABT spokesman said Monday.
In its place, the company will dance a new staging of Frederick Franklin’s “Coppelia.”
Repertory for the run will include Agnes de Mille’s “Rodeo,” Alvin Ailey’s “The River,” Clark Tippet’s “SPEBSQSA” and Jerome Robbins’ “Fancy Free.”
