This book offers something entirely new: detailed scene-by-scene descriptions of the action and dancing of Giselle , Paquita , Le Corsaire , La Bayad???re , and Raymonda , bringing the reader far closer to what the audience saw when the curtain went up on these five classic story ballets than has heretofore been possible. Drawing on archival documents, the authors show that these ballets were like today's pop entertainment: funnier, more violent, more spectacular, and with female characters far stronger than one might expect. This rigorously researched book fills huge gaps in dance history and is bound to be of interest to practitioners, scholars, and devotees of ballet and the arts.
