The 'Balet Comique de la Royne' is considered to be the first ballet, performed in 1581 at the French court of Catherine de Medici as part of the wedding celebrations for the Duke de Joyeuse and Marguerite de Vaudemont. The ballet was choreographed by Balthasar de Beaujoyeulx and was the first piece to combine poetry, music, design and dance, using as a theme the witchcraft of the goddess Circe. It is also the first ballet of which there is a printed account (libretto), published in 1582. Beaujoyeulx's volume, with printed music and superb illustrations by Jacques Patin, was highly successful and influenced the courts of Europe. Rare. This copy has not been seen on the market for over 100 years, and comes with various letters to/from the British Library as well as enquiries to Sotheby's and Christie's.
