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.

George Balanchine, who famously choreographed multiple ballets to composer Igor Stravinsky’s scores, once said: “I like Stravinsky's music. It is so strict, so solid. It never comes apart. You cannot improvise upon it. It's built like mathematics.” See three of his ballets set to Stravinsky's music: Apollo, Orpheus, and Agon (seen here) on the Stravinsky & Balanchine program, JAN 22, 24, 26 eve & FEB 1, 2 mat: nycballet.com/stravinsky | New York City Ballet
