The revival showed the classic work in its original sets and costumes and restored pantomime and choreography that had been eliminated over the past century. Nevertheless, the work proved unexpectedly controversial, with many Russian dance professionals and historians denouncing it. In order to understand how a historically informed performance could be ridiculed by those responsible for writing the history of Russian and Soviet ballet, Tim Scholl discusses the tradition, ideology, and popular legend that have shaped the development of Sleeping Beauty. In the process he provides a history of Russian and Soviet ballet during the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003eA fascinating slice of cultural history, the book will appeal not only to dance historians but also to those interested in the arts and cultural policies of the Soviet and post-Soviet periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTim Scholl\u003c\/b\u003e participated in the planning and production of the Maryinsky Ballet's reconstruction of \u003ci\u003eSleeping Beauty \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ehas written about it for the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times.\u003c\/i\u003e An associate professor of Russian at Oberlin College and a docent in the Theatre Research Department of Helsinki University, he is the author of \u003ci\u003eFrom Petipa to Balanchine: Classical Revival and the Modernization of Ballet\u003c\/i\u003e and is a frequent contributor to \u003ci\u003eBallet Review.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 242\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 x 9.46 x 6.44 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 10, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45847219732677,"sku":"9780300099560","price":131.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/Zza9l-9Z4E9780300099560.webp?v=1771409668","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/sleeping-beauty-a-legend-in-progress-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
