This is in progress because I've been savoring this a chapter at a time for quite some time as I do/am doing with other long masterpieces.
Within descriptions of this book it should be noted that while the novels of the trio are paralleled within the storyline, the same is done with "The Picture of Dorian Gray"* transposing two of the males as Dorian and Lord Henry!
The ladies and those two dates, seated as their rooks, attended 1916's Parisian premier performance of the ballet "Le Sacre Du Printemps" by Igor Stravinsky and Vaslav Nijinsky and enjoyed the extravaganza with all five senses in the darkness of their theatre box's front row!
That performance seemed so interesting that I researched it online and found that it was predictably infamous: surely deserving your interest for its own sake!
Moore described the spectacle with all the precision history affords in such lushly romantic parlance which is all so tenderly inserted within the art of his "ParaMoore" (obviously contributing to the synthesis of erotic collaboration) Melinda Gebbie. Her style, punctuated with an appropriately pastel palette of pencils, is unbeatable by anyone's technique that I could think of for the representation of that captivating tableau.
____________________________
*My favorite book and the only prose I've read more than twice.
Here's more me for those with the patience:
I firmly decided that I would choose that if given the opportunity to attend any performance of anything in history keeping in mind that ballet is in the bottom half of my hierarchy of performance art interests.
To clarify and fish for a comment: Ballet is something I'd go to as long as it's a top-tier historically relevant classic staged by top professionals that's highly lauded by critics. The date would probably have to be older than me because postX females tend to be short on that type of attention span for the subtle arts.
