American Ballet Theater Signs On for Three Years at the David H. Koch Theater American Ballet Theater, which presents a spring season at the Metropolitan Opera House, will have a second Lincoln Center home starting next fall. The company announced yesterday that it would move its fall season from New York City Center to the David H. Koch Theater, also home to New York City Ballet. The move is part of a three-year agreement under which the company will present two weeks of performances at the theater every fall through 2015. The first season, which includes 12 performances, runs from Oct. 30 to Nov. 10, 2013. The move was hinted at in May. The dance company will be taking over evenings that, in former times, were part of the New York City Opera's season. City Opera, under severe financial stress, abandoned the theater last year. Its departure was quickly followed by the Paul Taylor Dance Company's decision to leave City Center for the Koch Theater. American Ballet Theater plans to maintain its spring season at the Met, as well as its annual "Nutcracker" performances at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. And though the Koch Theater has been renovated and renamed (it was formerly the New York State Theater) since American Ballet Theater last visited it, it is not quite terra incognita for the company, which performed there regularly between 1965 and 1976. "The Koch Theater is a wonderful venue for dance and its larger stage will broaden the scope of the repertory that we can perform," Rachel S. Moore, the company's chief executive officer, said in a statement. No repertory for the first Koch Theater season was announced.
