Description

The late nineteenth century was such a rich time for human discoveries and achievements that Luigi Manzotti, along with La Scala Milan staged a ballet commemorating many of these triumphs. In two parts and eleven scenes, this optimistic work celebrated electricity, the steam engine, the Brooklyn Bridge, the telegraph, the Suez Canal, and many other human feats.
