Act of ballet

The act of ballet is a lyric kind practiced in France at the 18th century.

This short part (an act, from where its name) of pure entertainment combines spectacle, music and Danse within the framework of an intrigue in love without claim and often drawn from mythology.

The act of ballet and the entered (or act) of Opéra-ballet have the same characteristics exactly: in fact it is about a single form, the term of act of ballet applying when he is carried out in an independent way. Their roles are perfectly interchangeable besides. One could for example constitute an opera ballet by gathering acts of various ballets - and even of various type-setters - connected by a common topic, or extract a particularly appreciated entry, which became “act of ballet then”.

The most famous type-setter of acts of ballet is without question Jean-Philippe Rameau, and the masterpiece of the kind: Pygmalion composed and represented in 1748.
