The OpeningBallet is another method for opening a musical show besides the OpeningChorus. The dance or mime can range from wild slapstick to a mild series of vignettes. Major characters may or may not be introduced during this sequence - the entrance of one may bring it to an abrupt end; most of the figures in this sequence may be purely incidental, never to seen again.

Staging what was originally written as a overture as an OpeningBallet has become a common director's trick.
