About this event

The 2026 Fall Gala is a one-night ballet program curated by ABT Artistic Director Susan Jaffe around the theme "Angels and Demons." The event frames the program through mystery, fantasy, theatrical spectacle, and the contrast between ethereal and mischievous qualities. The artistic structure combines excerpts from four repertory ballets—Coppélia, Swan Lake, La Sylphide, and Sylvia—with three separately identified works: Frederick Ashton's Dance of the Blessed Spirits, Michel Fokine's Le Spectre de la Rose, and Agnes de Mille's Three Virgins and a Devil. The available event material does not specify a single continuous narrative, scenic design, costume design, lighting designer, or individual 2026 dancer assignments. The gala includes a formal reception and a post-performance dinner and dance on the Promenade. It is also an annual fundraising event supporting ABT productions, new works, dancer training, education, and community engagement.
