Paquita

A wedding-party of the beautiful Paquita and Lucien is on in the house of a well-known Spanish noble man. The children`s mazurka opens the magnificent ball. Paquita`s friends demonstrate virtuosity in their solo dances. The celebration Feast finishes with the dance of the main characters Paquita and Lucien.

Graduation Ball

The ballet follows the happenings of a Graduation Ball of a Viennese young ladies college to which cadets from a military college are invited. At first the girls and boys are timid but soon begin to dance with each other. Soon a series of divertissements ensue including a Pas de Deux between La Sylphide and James, a Drummer Boy and a Fouetté Competition. Soon after the students are told by the Headmistress of the Girls’ School to go and have dinner, the students re-enter the ballroom to find the General and the Headmistress hugging and kissing. The Gallop that follows mocks both the General and the Headmistress before the night ends and all students must go to bed. After the Ballroom has emptied, the Pigtails Girl and a Cadet sneak back in to see each other again. The General and the Headmistress have also re-entered to see each other but when they see the children, the cadet is led out by the ear and Pigtails is spanked offstage. The curtain closes.
