doug Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Marian Smith and I have a written a book on Giselle, Paquita, Le Corsaire, La Bayadère and Raymonda that is now published: Five Ballets from Paris and St. Petersburg (Oxford, 2024). We modeled it in part on Roland John Wiley's Tchaikovsky Ballets (Oxford, 1985) and have included detailed descriptions of early productions of the ballets, including descriptions of choreography, mime, action and music. More info here. I'm happy to answer questions about the book or the ballets. Link to comment

California Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Mine arrived yesterday. Whoa! 840 pages with many color plates. Detail on many of my favorite ballets. It will take a long while to digest, but worth it. https://www.amazon.com/Five-Ballets-Paris-St-Petersburg/dp/019094451X/ref=sr_1_1? Link to comment

cargill Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I just got mine. The print is very small! How wonderful it is to have pictures on glossy stock again, it makes such a difference. Link to comment
