Neoclassical Greek Mythology rooted in antiquity

Let the New York City Ballet transport you to Ancient Greece as the Stravinsky Festival continues with this dedicated program of three of the composers' classic collaborations with George Balanchine. The story of Apollo forms the basis of the trilogy, before entering The Underworld showcasing not only the beauty and drama of antiquity but the neoclassical complexity of Stravinsky's works.

Program
All Choreography by George Balanchine

Apollo
The pair's earliest collaboration - the young God enters adulthood, led by the muses of Poetry, Mime and Dance.

Orpheus
Now in the Underworld, we follow Orpheus as he seeks his true love.

Agon
Abstract yet athletic, this final Greek-inspired work is a joy to experience.
