"Ballet design is that art which fuses together, in one outstanding whole, the many arts that make up a ballet: music, dramatic theme, choreography and interpretive dance. In this book Peter Williams - a former ballet designer - describes the turning points through which ballet design has become an integral part of the whole artistic ensemble. The book spans five centuries, from Court masques to multi-media presentations, and concentrates on the exciting innovations of the twentieth century. Both a useful source of information for the ballet student and a fascinating story, it is illustrated with over 80 plates." -- Book cover
