Interesting ballet, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I wonder if you could squeeze in that he had performed in the ballet at Saint Petersburg? - You might shorten the end to "his new ballet was plotless". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:21, 10 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
I don't think it works as well. Many Russian-based dancers performed Raymonda at some point in their careers, and the ballet is not well-known to the general public. Corachow (talk) 15:34, 10 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Understand, but how many of our dear readers will know that he is Russian-based, with that French-sounding name. Up to you. It's approved and can stay that way. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:50, 10 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
How about this:
ALT1: ... that although George Balanchine set Raymonda Variations to musical excerpts from the ballet Raymonda, which he danced as a student at the Mariinsky Theatre, his new ballet was plotless?
I find the fact that he danced it as a student at Mariinsky more interesting than just him dancing it in St Petersburg. Would've add that he was in the original costumes if there's more space. Corachow (talk) 22:12, 11 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Good approach, thank you. How about trying to say it in chronological order, which would make "dance" more prominent? I think you have room for the costumes. Will approve if not, but need sleep first. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:31, 11 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
I prefer keeping either ALT0 or ALT1. In my opinion, going chronological makes the new ballet, or at least the fact that it's plotless, less prominent. Corachow (talk) 17:48, 12 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
both fine, I prefer ALT1 --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:57, 12 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
