Ballet Librettos

In your hands is the book by Olga Fominikh, a contemporary author of ballet librettos. A person of literary, poetic, and ballet nature, skillfully mastering this delicate art. This is confirmed by the wide range of themes the author works... with (from existential and philosophical to historical and epochal), as well as the thoughtfulness and depth of their development. The value of this edition is further enhanced by the illustrations of artist Anna Frolova. They allow one to grasp the very boundary of artistic forms: when words and images transform into music and dance, and images and symbols become part of the corporeal score. One of the main features of this book is the opportunity to feel this boundary and observe these transformations. Therefore, it will be of interest to the widest circle of readers: people intrigued by the art of ballet and appreciating its versatility and relevance.
