Description:
In 1999 the Maryinski Ballet and Theatre in St. Petersburg recreated its 1890 production of Sleeping Beauty, an event which provoked some controversy. How could a historically informed performance be ridiculed? Scholl discusses tradition, ideology and popular legend in the development of this ballet.
