足尖

• Owing to the very judicious plan of dividing the two acts of the opera with a ballet , the pauses between the performances are very short , the singers in the opera having time to repose themselves and change their costume , when necessary , while the dancers are executing their pirouettes and exhibiting their graceful steps
  意大利的歌剧处理得非常适当，每两幕正戏之间插一段歌舞，所以落幕的时间极短。当正戏的歌唱演员在休息和换装的时候，则由舞蹈演员来卖弄他们的足尖舞和表演他们这种爽心悦目的舞步。
