A romance drama.
Saiyuri
Yes, Memoirs of a Geisha is a memoir. Only, because she is remembering a time in her life that was important to her.
Not sure what the ballet was, but the music was the Waltz from Khachaturian's "Masquerade". You can find it on You tube. Great music! He also wrote "Spartacus" which was used years ago as the theme...
Her name is Saiyuri.
