Reply To: Film Composers and the Ballet
Not sure if two and a half hours with ballet are shorter than two and a half hours without ballet. 🙂
Nevertheless are ballets often even performed in full in concert, rather than in suites. While there are suites of Le Sacre du Printemps, Daphnis et Chloe, or The Wooden Prince, I have seen (or better heard) them all performed in full in concert.
