ABT CUTS PROGRAM TO CUT COSTS

American Ballet Theatre has canceled a planned Stravinsky program for the end of the season. “We’re looking at the potential of a 5 to 10 percent problem on a $30 million budget. It’s primarily a result of the recession that already existed before Sept. 11, but it’s certainly been heightened since that time. The postponement of the program will save Ballet Theater about $400,000.” The New York Times 12/20/01 (one-time registration required for access)
