My favourite ballet and the one I share with people new to the genre. The climax beginning at 11 minutes in is such a beautiful reflection of art in the late 1910s/early 1920s. All of the costuming in this production is faithful to the 1922 original without being too heavy to dance in. Like George Gershwin, Milhaud heard the early jazz in Harlem and used it to define 20th century music.
