The Faber Guide to
Classical Ballets A unique and authoritative guide to the core ballet repertoire
The essential, easy-to-use guide to classical ballets, with entries covering more than eighty works from the core repertoire of ballet companies around the world. Spanning nearly two centuries of classical dancing, this indispensable book begins in the 1830s with La Sylphide, moves through the great Tchaikovsky ballets of the Russian Imperial Ballet, to the inspirational work of Diaghilev at the beginning of the twentieth century and the innovative world of the great Balanchine. Ashton and Macmillan are covered in depth, and the most recent ground-breaking ballets bring us up to the present day. Luke Jennings’s detailed and perceptive analysis of story, themes and historical context are intertwined with Deborah Bull’s unique ‘view from the wings’, giving an unrivalled perspective on ballet tradition and performance.
Dip in at random or trace the
development of dance from cover to cover: this is a must for all
ballet-goers, first-timers and seasoned aficionados alike.
