I just added a not-so-common book The Wind by Dorothy Scarborough, and started to fill in common knowledge. There was a film made in 1928 with Lillian Gish, which I've entered, but the reason I got interested in reading the book was because of a recent ballet adaptation choreographed by Arthur Pita for the Royal Ballet. He had previously choreographed a mesmerizing but difficult-to-watch ballet of Kafka's Metamorphosis, so I guess this question can cover both.
The Wind, especially, is a book whose entry I'd like to fill out a bit for LT members. It's unlikely to have many other productions based on it, so if there's a way to enter the ballet I'd like to do that. Is there?

No idea what is the position on filling CK field Related movies with productions of other type, but I'd like to point out you can add all related material via work-to work relationships, provided someone has cataloged it.
Edit: Here, I added the movie via work-to-work relationships as an example. If there are other adaptions cataloged, they can be connected in the same way

What do you mean by cataloging a ballet? Do you mean a recording of a ballet, or some sort of printed description of a ballet? If you mean the performance itself, how can you have that in a library?

I think I would just start my review with the comment that the ballet made me want to read the book.
A recording of the ballet would probably qualify as a film, but not the performance.
Of course, if a programme for the ballet has been entered, you could use work-to-work.

Looks like there's another adaptation that came out this year: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8426594

I was really thinking of being able to add the ballet simply as an entity, but I guess not. It has been performed multiple times, but so far no DVD. Hopefully a DVD will be released in the next year or two, so then I can add that. And I will add to my review that the ballet is the reason I became interested.
>5 norabelle414: That new film (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8383892) appears to be unrelated to the book. At least, none of the characters are the same, and I don't see any information about the plot or topic.

I would be totally in favor of you adding the ballet to your catalog but I'm sure I'm very much in the minority on that.
Whoops! I meant to link this one: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8426594

If there's a script of the ballet (is there such a thing? playscript, or sheet music, or some such?) you could catalog that, even if you don't own a copy.
If you did decide to catalog the ballet itself, I don't think there would be any grounds for flagging it. You could do that if you wanted, without asking permission.
I've often been tempted to catalog movies that I've watched in a cinema, with the full expectation that they would be combined into the videorecording of the same work. You can catalog a DVD (of course), and you can catalog a DVD that you borrowed from a friend to watch (of course), so why not catalog the DVD if you watched it at the friends house but didn't actually borrow it? Would that not extend to watching it in the cinema?
I say go for it! Catalog the ballet!

>7 norabelle414: That does look more like the story. Still the wrong names, but it sounds like it's based on the book.
