A ballet for television, designed by Ruth Sendler.
Music selected from two symphonies by Haydn.

This is the story of Pierre and Madelon - true lovers parted in the traditional fairy-tale manner by their heartless parents. Like all the best fairy tales, this one, of course, has a happy ending, though the means by which it comes about are perhaps a trifle unusual.
