Thou Swell (ballet)

Thou Swell is a ballet created by New York City Ballet's balletmaster-in-chief Peter Martins to the songs of Richard Rodgers in an arrangement by Glen Kelly with orchestrations Don Sebesky.

This article is about Peter Martins' 2003 ballet. For Rodgers and Hart's 1927 song, see Thou Swell.

The music is performed by an on stage trio and two singers. During the course of the ballet one of the male dancers (Nilas Martins in the original cast) "sits in" at the piano. The premiere took place on 22 January 2003 at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center, with scenery by Robin Wagner, costumes by Julius Lumsden, supervised by Holly Hynes, and lighting by Mark Stanley.

gollark: It also ships a "fuse filter" thing, which is apparently based on similar principles but mildly more compact, except construction can fail, and according to their empirical testing it needs over 100000 keys to have a decent chance of not failing, and the only explanation is a link to an incomprehensible paper on properties of hypergraphs.
gollark: I found a crate for it.
gollark: Also, I'm wondering if I *should* actually make it store the full text of stuff, for highlighting the relevant bits.
gollark: As of now the search is just limited to ANDing all the bitmaps; it doesn't do ranking, nearness, multiple boolean operators, sort of thing.
gollark: 3 tokens, right now, I can fiddle with that.
