Note
The first performance of the 1936 revival of La Juive occurred on January 11; the printed program does not credit dancing. Balanchine’s choreography may have been inadvertently omitted from the program, or may have been added to the production later, as listed in the program of January 20, 1936. The casting given here is from the program of a Grand Concert of the Metropolitan Opera on January 12, at which the ballets from La Juive were performed.
Structure of ballet divertissement clarified by Ruthanna Boris.
