Looking for title of a ballet?

[Guest kdb]

I saw this documentary where they showed a clip of Rudolph Nureyev dancing on some scaffolding (where he was dressed like a clown) and it had something to with the Moon? I think it was an opera ballet? Any clues as to what performance I may be referring to?

Hi, kdb, and welcome to Ballet Talk at Ballet Alert! Online!

The ballet you're referencing is Glen Tetley's "Pierrot Lunaire" with music by Arnold Schönberg of the same title. It used to be a staple with the old Western Theatre Ballet.
