Abstract

The article explores the performative aspects of the ballet "Apollo, Leader of the Muses," with choreography by George Balanchine. Emphasis is given to topics such as the composition of the libretto by composer Igor Stravinsky, the ballet's reputation as a rebirth of classicism, and the performance of the title character by dancer Jacques d’Amboise.
