Pavel Gerdt in the Saint-Léon/Minkus Le Poisson Doré. St. Petersburg, 1867

Le Poisson Doré (The Golden Fish) (AKA Zolotaia Ribka) is a "fantastic ballet" in 4 acts/6 scenes with prologue and epilogue. The choreography was by Arthur Saint-Léon, and the music by Léon Minkus.

The ballet was first presented (only Act I) by the Imperial Ballet on November 20/December 2 (Julian/Gregorian calendar dates), 1866, Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. The complete work was then presented by the Imperial Ballet on October 8/20, 1867 at the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre.

Principal dancers at the première were Adèle Grantzow and Timofei Stukolkin.

Notes

The scenario of this ballet was derived from Alexander Pushkin's 1835 poem The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish.
