...Ballet's lighting and staging method, coupled with its magnificent costumes may very well bring about some changes in the present colorless state of scenic affairs. Thus, the sense of two-dimensionality and the effectiveness of composition and costume that was present in the Egyptian Dance in "Prometheus" seemed to me to be one of the high sports of the evening's performance...
