阿波羅 (芭蕾舞劇)

《阿波羅》（英文：Apollo）係一齣新古典芭蕾舞劇，有兩幕。呢齣芭蕾舞劇係喺 1928 年由當時得嗰 24 歲嘅美國編舞家佐治·巴倫錢（George Balanchine）負責編舞，史特拉汶斯基（Igor Stravinsky）負責作曲嘅^[1]，而服裝設計就係由法國時裝設計師 Coco Chanel做嘅。

特徵

《阿波羅》係一齣典型嘅新古典芭蕾舞劇：新古典芭蕾舞（neoclassical ballet）係喺廿世紀上半橛興起嘅一種芭蕾舞風格，係對古典芭蕾舞（classical ballet）嘅一種反叛；新古典芭蕾舞著重簡約，要求啲服裝同佈景要簡單，而且嫌古典芭蕾舞劇嗰啲故仔又長又噚；而喺呢啲方面，《阿波羅》都可以算係新古典芭蕾舞嘅代表，齣劇嘅故仔係講述希臘神話入面掌管太陽同音樂嘅天神阿波羅同三位繆思（muses；希臘神話當中一班喺藝術同文學上啟發人類嘅女神）相遇，並且受到啟發－呢個故仔簡單過例如《天鵝湖》好多，而且啲舞蹈員好多時淨係會著件純色上衫加緊身褲（男舞蹈員）或者冇特別裝飾嘅純色芭蕾舞裙（女舞蹈員）^[2]。
