Calliope Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Is anyone doing this ballet? I'm of course, assuming it's been done before. Link to comment
dirac Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Perhaps I'm being pedantic, or confused, but did you mean the classical myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, the opera/ballet of Jean-Philippe Rameau, or Shaw's play? (If any is in production, I haven't heard. ) Link to comment
Alexandra Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 I don't know know of any on the theme in recent memory -- but then, I may have forgotten one But it was a very popular theme in the 19th century. There were several ballets where a statue was awakened by an infatuated artist and the statue was brought to life (guess the genders). Alas, they're no longer performed. (Think how much fun it would have been to spend Act I as a statue while Maestro demonstrated his artistic frustration, only to have to leap to life at the very end of the act!) Link to comment
