FAQ About The Evolution of Classical Ballet into Modern Interpretations

How is music selection different in modern ballet compared to classical ballet?
In classical ballet, the music selection is typically orchestral and follows a traditional score, with historical compositions often being the centerpiece. In modern ballet, however, choreographers frequently opt for a diverse range of music styles, including contemporary classical music, electronic, pop, and even experimental sounds. This varied musical approach helps to create unique atmospheres and supports the thematic and narrative flexibility of modern dance performances.
