Leonard Bernstein combined Europe’s symphonic tradition with idioms and styles from American jazz and Latin music in West Side Story, one of the 20th century’s most beloved musicals. More than 30 years earlier, five of Paris’ most famous avant-garde composers wrote music for Rolf de Maré and the Ballets Suédois about a surreal and spectacular wedding party: Les Mariés de la tour Eiffel.
