Bacchus and Ariadne (ballet) → Bacchus et Ariane — Relisted. The primary substantial question here is which variant title is mot well-known in English; that question has not been answered. Ucucha 17:51, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is primarily a question: Is the French title better known (in English)? I think it is, partly because I am listening to the ballet as I type. It would also remove the (really unnecessary) disambiguation; most presentations of the myth call the male lead Dionysus. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:32, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support as nom. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:32, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Plot summary?

This could really use a summary of the plot (for instance, does Theseus appear?), explaining the transition from the ominous beginning to the triumphant close. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:32, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
