BBT to Welcome ABT Principal Skylar Brandt for Swan Lake
Boca Ballet Theatre’s upcoming production of Swan Lake will feature a star of the professional ballet world! On May 8th and 9th, 2021, American Ballet Theatre principal Skylar Brandt will take the stage as Odette/Odile in what is sure to be an unforgettable performance! Swan Lake is of course one of the most iconic stories in ballet history, and we look forward to seeing these exceptional dancers bring this haunting and beautiful story to life on stage!
Skylar Brandt joined ABT II (now ABT Studio Company) in 2009, became an apprentice with the main Company in November 2010 and joined the corps de ballet in June 2011. She was appointed a Soloist in August 2015 and a Principal Dancer in September 2020. Her roles with the Company include Polyhymnia in Apollo, Gamzatti in La Bayadére, Columbine in Harlequinade, and Princess Florine in Ratmansky’s The Sleeping Beauty, amongst many others. She created a Consort in A Gathering of Ghosts, The Swallow in The Seasons, the Fairy Canari qui chante (Canary) in Alexei Ratmansky’s The Sleeping Beauty, a leading role in Her Notes and featured roles in AfterEffect, After You and Praedicere. Skylar was awarded a Princess Grace Foundation-USA Dance Fellowship in 2013. That same year, she was featured in the film Ballet’s Greatest Hits. In 2018, Brandt was the recipient of an unprecedented Special Jury Award for her performances on the Russian television show “Big Ballet.”
Skylar was recently featured on the cover of Dance Magazine with a special article “The Single-Minded Drive of ABT Principal Skylar Brandt,” which you can read here!
