Abstract:
The recently discovered written choreography of the Wiener Walzer (1885) ballet provides new insights into the structure of the dramaturgy, dance technique, and content of one of the productions of the Vienna Court Ballet of the late nineteenth century. The reasons behind the extraordinary success of this performance can be sought in the locally coloured content as well as in the music. This form of composition makes use of numerous clichés pertaining to the Viennese cultural identity while at the same time consolidating them.
