A landmark ballet by choreographer George Balanchine to the music of his close friend and colleague Igor Stravinsky, Apollo follows the young god as he is guided by the muses of poetry, mime, and dance into maturity and artistic clarity. With its sculptural simplicity, clean lines, and serene musicality, Apollo unfolds as a study in balance, order, and transformation.
