The history of classical ballet is revived through a monumental work!   With great joy and pride, Fourfouri Publications offer the Greek reading public a broad panorama of the history of classical ballet, through the plot and stories of fourteen of the most prominent works (Giselle, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, The Firebird, etc.), as well as through the fascinating lives of the most legendary dancers (Margot Fonteyn, Alicia Alonso, Rudolf Nureyev, etc.) What is the Nutcracker and what is its connection to the Mouse King? How is there a cake named after the famous ballerina Pavlova? Who was the "Tsar's Ballerina"?   From the first steps of Romantic Ballet and the sylphs with white tulle skirts to the pioneering and daring performances of Baryshnikov, stories with fairies, creatures of imagination, myths and legends, pirates, fateful love stories, and desperate lovers fill the great theaters of the world: the Paris Opera, the Bolshoi in Moscow, and La Scala in Milan. A monumental and immortal work, just like classical ballet itself, with its mark remaining indelible on world culture.
