Balanchine’s Prodigal Son I was not familiar with this ballet at all although I have enjoyed Prokofiev’s music when watching Romeo and Juliet.

Dante’s impression of hell is definitely very imaginative. Supposedly the deeper into hell you go the more serious the offense. The first eleven cantos seem to mirror the seven deadly sins found in the Catholic faith.
