Apollo / Aeternum / 24 Preludes
Two world premieres and a modern classic: this tantalizing new programme of ballet features work by three master choreographers.
Apollo
George Balanchine’s interpretation of the myth of Apollo is one of the landmark ballets of the 20th century. Its classical beauty is underpinned by Stravinsky's magnificent score.
