You know of course that ballet is really an early movie

There were settings in the 19th century called "Tableau Vivants"...living scenes.  On the Steppes of Central Asia by Borodin is a famous one. Simply they were sets with living actors, animals, etc. with music that went with them....ballet without movement - a freeze frame if you will.  Ballet, in a simple comparison, when it went past the unstoried to the storied (from just a bunch dancing to a bunch dancing in the context of a story - think of the Nutcracker ballet and you'll get the idea of what is a storied ballet.....anyway these were motion pictures of a sort..the tableau vivant brought to the next scene.

Here is the opening to Stravinsky's Petrushka ballet "brought to life".... enjoy (ps I posted the closing scene here)
