ABT’s fall season is traditionally a mixed bill affair but rarely one with works as audaciously diametrical in nature as this year. The company’s second night of the season offered older ballets created between 1932 and 2000, but each felt refreshingly different as much from what might be expected in a mixed bill these days, as from each other.
