Long thought a lost period for ballet in France, the fin de si鐵le in fact saw a flourishing of choreographic activity. More than four hundred ballets were created to great acclaim, half of which were full-scale pantomime-ballets, with entertaining narratives, catchy music, titillating choreography, lavish sets and costumes, appealing corps girls, and star ballerinas. Most of these productions were staged not at the elite Paris Op駻a but in the city's trendiest commercial venues: music halls. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Between 1871 and 1913, the Folies-Berg鑽e, the Olympia, and the Casino de Paris brought together the era's leading authors of light theater and comic opera to produce a flurry of imaginative ballets that combined the conventional structures of high art with the popular idioms of mass entertainment. They also drew unprecedented numbers of people who had never before attended ballet. Parisian Music-Hall Ballet, 1871-1913 rediscovers this repertoire and culture, supplying a missing chapter in the history of French dance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sarah Gutsche-Miller is Assistant Professor of Musicology at the University of Toronto.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Gutsche-Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580464424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580464420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Rochester Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2016","brand":"Sarah Gutsche-Miller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985195532543,"sku":"9781580464420","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4f1627e-53e5-4759-9136-ab0d8cd72ed5.jpg?v=1683276121","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parisian-music-hall-ballet-1871-1913-sarah-gutsche-miller-9781580464420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
