Jean-Christophe Maillot choreographed and directed the dance piece that the Ballets de Monte-Carlo ensemble performs onstage in this release. The work itself actually constitutes an adaptation of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, set to music by Felix Mendelssohn, Bertrand Maillot and Daniel Teruggi. Ernest Pignon-Ernest designed the sets and Philippe Guillotel created the costumes.
