doug Posted July 24, 2024 Posted July 24, 2024 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.
Helene Posted July 24, 2024 Posted July 24, 2024 My copy has arrived, and I'm looking forward to reading it!

California Posted August 4, 2024 Posted August 4, 2024 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?
Lidewij Posted August 5, 2024 Posted August 5, 2024 My copy is on the way - looking very much forward to reading it! Congratulations!
cargill Posted August 6, 2024 Posted August 6, 2024 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.
