From Petipa to Balanchine: Classical Revival and the Modernization of Ballet Book

In this interdisciplinary study, Tim Scholl provides a provocative and timely re-evaluation of the development of ballet from the 1880s to the middle of the twentieth century. In his thoughtful re-appraisal of dance classicism, Scholl locates the roots of modern ballet in the works of Marius Petipa, rather than in the much-celebrated choreographic experiments of Diaghilev's Ballet Russe.The first book to present 19th and 20th- century ballet as a continuous tradition, From Petipa to Balanchine places works such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Les Sylphides, Apollo and Jewels in their proper cultural and artistic context.Read More
