APOLLO (1968 film)

Here is a film of Balanchine’s early masterpiece, APOLLO, filmed in Montreal; with a very young Suzanne Farrell, Peter Martins, Marnee Morris, and Karin Von Aroldingen. Farrell was 22 years old here and Martins was 21. The gorgeous red head, Linda Merrill plays “Leto“ Apollo’s mother. Balanchine was very interested in her and gave her many leading roles in the company. She didn’t stay too long unfortunately.
