Agon, named after the ancient Greek word for contest and struggle, is one of Balanchine’s most famed plotless neoclassical ballets. First staged in 1957, the ballet features a score by Igor Stravinsky and movements based on French court dances. Agon joins Apollo and Orpheus in the winter season’s Stravinsky & Balanchine Greek Trilogy program.
