Prime Video’s latest series, Étoile, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, has been well received by viewers and critics. The show is based in the glamorous world of ballet and how Le Ballet National and the Metropolitan Ballet Theater decide to swap their most talented dancers in an attempt to draw audience and revive funding.

Set in New York and Paris, one of the most important aspects of Étoile is its soundtrack. Since ballet is the primary focus here, it is only natural that the soundtrack holds significance.
