Interesting ballet history on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I prefer the original as more unusual. I propose to run this on premiere date, 31 May. In the article, I'm not sure about the present tense in a sentence beginning with a long-ago date, nor "had been performed" for the following performances, but that may be just me. - I believe that infobox ballet would profit from Music showing the music, not the composer, but that's not this article's fault. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:01, 20 May 2022 (UTC)- The music's article is in a sad state ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:01, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Gerda. I'm fine with the special occasion date. The infobox is designed to show only the composer and not the score. As for the "had been performed" part, it's tricky because some of the companies had not dance it in decades, while others perform it regularly. Corachow (talk) 17:02, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
- I know that the infobox is not designed to show the music but the composer, but I wish it would either say "Composer" then, or say "Music" and show music. What we have is an Easter egg. but who am I to get it improved? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:08, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
