From 1961. Got this many years ago for $1 at Goodwill. In pristine shape. Doesn’t happen much anymore. Folks take grandpa’s collection to the record shop these days.

J'ai fait découvrir la danse des sabots de La Fille mal gardée au pianiste accompagnateur : dix minutes plus tard, il me la jouait. Je trouve toujours ça magique. #danse#ballet
@ColinTheMathmo In 1950, the ballet/pantomime "Isotopia" was performed. It was a creation by Muriel Howarth, apparently a radioactivity enthusiast. It featured people portraying protons, neutrons, electrons and a Geiger counter. Apparently, this is what Time magazine wrote about it:
“13 bosomy A.E. Associates in flowing evening gowns gyrated gracefully about a stage in earnest imitation of atomic forces at work. An ample electron in black lace wound her way around two matrons labeled ‘proton’ and ‘neutron’ while an elderly ginger-haired Geiger counter clicked out their radioactive effect on a pretty girl named Agriculture. At a climactic moment, a Mrs. Monica Davial raced across the stage in spirited representation of a rat eating radioactive cheese.”
I had the LP set of this complete Sleeping Beauty as a boy. It seems to me to present the ballet more as a symphonic work and less as something to be danced to. Here is a link with the whole two-and-a-half hour performance:

Did you know Prokofiev wanted to change the famous tragic ending of the play for a more merry ballet? Watch it, hold on to your loved one for dear life, and bang your heads together romantically!
Vu le ballet Giselle d'Adolphe Adam avec Olga Smirnova et Jacopo Tissi (retransmission live du Dutch National Ballet au cinéma).
La mise en scène était dingue. J'ai une préférence pour le second acte où l'éclairage et les costumes ont rendu à merveille les fantômes des fiancées désabusées. #MastoMusic#Ballet#SFFF (eh oui)
At the last stage rehearsal for The Nutcracker. They just did Mother Ginger and the Polychenelles - so adorable. Going on stage soon to do the party scene with my daughter. This is our 5th time doing the party scene and it's still exciting. #ballet#theater#dancing#performance
