Polyphonia, Christopher Wheeldon’s first ballet made in his role as NYCB's Resident Choreographer, premiered in 2001. Choreographed to a score that utilizes 10 excerpts from György Ligeti's avant-garde "micropolyphonic" works of the 1940s to the 1980s and featuring simple leotard costumes, the piece is both an homage to the pioneering abstract ballets of Balanchine and a completely original work.
