Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater at Kennedy Center Opera House

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Designated by Congress as 'a vital American cultural ambassador to the world', it's been over 60 years since Alvin Ailey and his group of African-American dancers performed for the very first time at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. The tour is packed full of premieres and returning favorites, offering a fantastic chance to enjoy the group once again.

American Ballet Theatre - Crime and Punishment at Kennedy Center Opera House

American Ballet Theatre - Crime and Punishment

American Ballet Theatre dives into one of the greatest works of literature in history with a balletic adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's magnum opus Crime and Punishment. Considered one of the greatest literary works of all time, the torment and existentialist themes in this profound psychological drama give plenty of material for James Bonas (director) and Helen Picket (choreographer) to create a hauntingly stunning work of ballet.
