Apollo (ballet)

Apollo is a classical ballet that tells the mythological story of the Greek god of music, prophecy, and the arts. Choreographed by George Balanchine, it emphasizes precise movements and elegant form. The ballet features a series of solos and duets that showcase different skills, each representing aspects of Apollo’s domain—music, poetry, and dance. Known for its clarity, rhythm, and structural beauty, Apollo is considered a foundational piece in ballet repertoire, highlighting technical mastery and artistic expression through choreography set to classical music, primarily by Igor Stravinsky.
