Balanchine's Ballets Russes represents the enduring influence of George Balanchine, a visionary choreographer who shaped 20th-century ballet while working with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in the 1920s. Known for defining a modern vocabulary of movement, Balanchine created landmark works such as Apollo (1928) and The Prodigal Son (1929). Today, Balanchine's repertory is preserved and licensed by the Balanchine Trust and the George Balanchine Foundation, ensuring companies worldwide can access his celebrated ballets with fidelity to the original concepts and style.
