See three works that changed ballet in profound ways: Leonide Massine’s Les Présages set the grand theme of heroic human destiny to the passion of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony; George Balanchine’s Apollo forged this master’s relationship with the composer who shaped 20th-century music, Igor Stravinsky; and Kurt Jooss’s The Green Table was and is the most powerful anti-war statement ever created for the ballet, perhaps the most powerful ever created for the stage.
