What was the name of the first ballet?
Etiquette dance, popular in European countries' courts, became the basis of ballet art. French court dancers combined poetry, music, dance, pantomime, drama, recitation juggling and scenery on the basis of court dance to create the first ballet, namely, the Queen's Comedy Ballet staged at 158 1. The dance drama lasts for 5 hours, and the performance content is ancient Greek mythology. The specific content is the banshee's struggle with Apollo, the sun god and other gods, and finally surrender to the king. The ballet uses novel props that have never been used before, such as golden sprinklers. The repertoire is performed by members of the royal family, and the ballet shows a gorgeous and luxurious royal style. Because there are characters, plots, contradictions and conflicts in the dance, poetry reading, music and dance interweave with each other, it is recognized as the first "ballet" in the history of world dance.
