GREEK TRILOGY

  • Apollo

    • Music by: Igor Stravinsky
    • Choreography by: George Balanchine

    Balanchine's first major collaboration with Stravinsky and one of his earliest international successes, Apollo presents the young god as he is ushered into adulthood by the muses of poetry, mime, and dance.

  • Orpheus

    • Music by: Igor Stravinsky
    • Choreography by: George Balanchine

    An iconic Balanchine work that was part of NYCB’s inaugural performance in 1948, this highly-stylized, narrative ballet depicts Orpheus’ journey to rescue his beloved Eurydice from the underworld.

  • Agon

    • Music by: Igor Stravinsky
    • Choreography by: George Balanchine

    The apex of the Stravinsky/Balanchine collaboration, Agon is an intense masterwork, ever contemporary in its athletic competitiveness.
