ABT'S 2024 FALL SEASON October 30 - November 3 at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center
American Ballet Theatre: Join us this Fall Season, written in 1866 by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment is a devastatingly modern psychological thriller that provided choreographer Helen Pickett and director James Bonas with a startling source for a ballet. The protagonist Raskolnikov is a brilliant student forced to stop his studies due to brutal poverty, a person capable of great warmth and generosity, a loyal family member and friend… and an appalling murderer. These contradictions are so real and so vivid that this young man’s journey towards redemption has captured readers for over 150 years.
