Frizak the Barber

Frizak the Barber

"Frizak the Barber" (AKA "The Barber" or "Frizak" or "The Double Wedding") is a "comic ballet" in 1 Act/1 Scene, with choreography by Marius Petipa and music adapted by Ludwig Minkus from themes derived from Italian opera (from the works of Giacomo Meyerbeer, Giuseppe Verdi, Vincenzo Bellini, Gioacchino Rossini, and Pietro Mascagni).

The ballet was first presented by the Imperial Ballet on March 11/23 (Julian/Gregorian calendar dates), 1879 at the Imperial Bolshoi Kammeny Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The principal dancers at the première included Mariia Gorshenkova and Pavel Gerdt.

Notes

*It has been conjectured by ballet historians that this was work was a revival of a ballet of the same title originally produced by Petipa's father Jean for the Ballet du Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels, Belgium, where it was first performed on February 19, 1822.
