... Ballet? Never Heard of It.
My own personal complaint about ballet is that companies rarely undertake to do classic scores, preferring instead to adapt something not originally written for dance - the Mendelssohn violin concerto, for instance. I'd love to see a staging of Debussy's Jeux or Roussel's The Spider's Feast or Piston's The Incredible Flutist ... I could go on and on. But ballet companies don't seem interested. Strange, because it seems to me they would attract a lot of music lovers.
