Theme and Variations is a ballet choreographed by George Balanchine to the final movement of Tchaikovsky's Orchestral Suite No. 3. The ballet was made for Ballet Theatre (now American Ballet Theatre), and premiered on November 26, 1947, at the City Center 55 Street Theater, with the two leads danced by Alicia Alonso and Igor Youskevitch.
The ballet was well-received and was revived by other ballet companies. In 1970, Balanchine incorporated the choreography of Theme and Variations to Suite No. 3 (now titled Tschaikovsky Suite No. 3),[a] performed by the New York City Ballet.
