apotheose

The music for this duet was the allegretto movement from Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, and its title, “Apothéose,” presumably derives from Wagner’s comment that the score was the “apotheosis of dance.”

Gillian Murphy made a too-brief appearance in Frederick Ashton's "Sylvia," and the veteran ballerina Julie Kent looked lovely performing in a short new piece with partner Roberto Bolle, "Apotheose," choreographed by dancer Marcelo Gomes to Beethoven's Symphony No. 7.

In the first act Marie Antoinette, in the apothéose of her glory, wore voluminous skirts and crinoline, according to the famous picture.

In 1827, the first submitted to general admiration l'Apotheose d'Homere and Le Martyre de Saint Symphorien.

He called it "La Mort d'Adam et son Apotheose," and it involved him in a disastrous quarrel with the directors of the Conservatoire and the Academie.
