Le Lys

Le Lys (The Lily), also known as Liliya, is a ballet in 3 acts/4 scenes, with choreography by Arthur Saint-Léon and music by Ludwig (Léon) Minkus.

The ballet was first presented by the Imperial Ballet on 2 November [O.S. 21 October] 1869, at the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Principal dancers at the première included Adèle Grantzow.

Notes

For this ballet Minkus reused and adapted much of the music he had composed for Saint-Léon's 1866 La Source.
