Between 1917 and 1962, Pablo Picasso was involved in creating the
designs for nine ballets including 'Parade', 'Pulcinella' and
'L'Apres-midi d'un Faune', in collaboration with such artists as
Jean Cocteau, Erik Satie, Igor Stravinsky, Claude Debussy, Leonide
Massine and Vaslav Nijinsky. Picasso, a native of Andalusia, also
created the sets and costumes for the very Spanish ballet, 'Le
Tricorne' ('The Three-Cornered Hat'). This release features the
entire ballet along with a documentary which traces the story of
Picasso's involvement with designs for ballet.
