Note
Neither Balanchine nor Doubrovska remembered this piece, but a program for the Lifar engagement at the Savoy lists Dans l’Élysée, danced by Doubrovska, with choreography uncredited. A review of Lifar’s London appearances (Dancing Times, August 1933, pp. 439-40) mentions a ‘solo sur les pointes to music of Offenbach choreographed by Balanchine’ for Doubrovska.
