Sinatra in New York

Not often does a national dance troupe pay homage to Old Blue Eyes - let alone a ballet company - but this fall, the American Ballet Theater (ABT) is performing a work entitled "Sinatra Suite" by renowned choreographer, Twyla Tharp, who has worked with Barishnikov, David Byrne and other greats. (I love her work.)

The ABT Opening Night Gala at the New York City Center is on October 18, also featuring Balanchine's "Symphonie Concertante".
