There was a hushed air of anticipation as Principal Dancer Taylor Stanley made his debut in Apollo last night, opening our Winter 2019 performances. Dancing alongside Tiler Peck, Indiana Woodward, and Brittany Pollack – who also made her debut as Polyhymia, the muse of the art of mime – Taylor offered an elegant yet dramatic take on the iconic role, making it distinctly his own. See him as Apollo again on our Stravinsky & Balanchine program, JAN 24 and FEB 1. nycballet.com/stravinsky | New York
