Another version of 'Gaite Parisienne', a one-act ballet to music by Offenbach, arranged by Manuel Rosenthal. Choreography by Leonide Massine and Etienne de Beaumont. The ballet is set in Grand Cafe Tortoni in Paris. The Baron - Artem Shpilevsky, The Glove Seller - Marianna Ryzhkina, with Denis Medvedev as The Peruvian, who arrives on the scene carrying two carpetbags full of jewellery.
