When we think of ballet, one of the first things that springs to mind is Swan Lake, the most famous of all classical ballets. Although it is often parodied, it continues to captivate audiences and attract critics. Scottish Ballet’s David Dawson sees Swan Lake as the dance equivalent of the Mona Lisa, and he has adapted many versions of the classic to reflect his own interpretation of the story. But regardless of the production, Swan Lake’s white act remains the same – the dancers are still in white tutus, and their heads are decorated with feathered headdresses.
The white act of ballet was a common theme in Romantic ballets. The dancers wore white costumes to represent the spirits of the dead, or the dreamlike state. In addition, the dancers’ movements were often stylized or choreographed to make them appear more like apparitions.
Ballet White is a neutral, warm, and muted shade of white that suits many rooms. The warm colour it evokes is perfect for rooms that are not overly bright, and it can go well with dark wood trim. The neutral colour of Ballet White allows the paint to blend with other colours without a clash of colours.
La Fille du Danube had its world premiere on 21 September 1836 at Salle Le Peletier, but its reception was not as strong as La Sylphide. The critic Janin characterized it as a sequel to La Sylphide, but other critics wrote that the ballet had no merit and was an unimpressive piece. Frederic Soulie of the Presse and Moniteur both deemed the ballet a piece of nonsense.
