Elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$~TeV with the ALICE experiment

The elliptic azimuthal event anisotropy, $v_2$, is an important observable used to study the nature and properties of matter created in heavy-ion collisions. We report on measurements of $v_2$ for inclusive and identified charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$~TeV recorded by the ALICE experiment at the LHC. $v_2$ is presented for a wide range of particle transverse momenta up to $p_T=20$~GeV/c. The results are compared to the measurements at lower energy reported by RHIC experiments and also to theoretical predictions.
