Through the years, American Ballet Theatre’s Costume Fund
has dressed the most celebrated characters in classical dance. Giselle,
Nikiya, Kitri: the leading ladies of ABT’s roster now have
restored costumes as elegant as the ballerinas who portray them.
But the costumes of the Court, Count Albrecht, and the Toreadors
demand as much attention and care as those of their more well-known
counterparts.
For the past 32 years, Barbara Matera Ltd. has created, restored,
and repaired nearly all of ABT’s beautiful costumes. This
year, they have generously supported our production of Giselle
by donating the costume of Bathilde in loving memory of Jennifer
Alexander, our beloved corps de ballet member who passed away in
December. In recognition of Barbara Matera’s extraordinary
gift, this year’s Costume Fund will support the renewal of
the costumes of the remaining members of the Court.
