Английская Википедия:Ballet at the Edinburgh International Festival: history and repertoire, 1967–1976
Ballet continued to be an significant part of the Edinburgh International Festival during the third decade of the festival. However, in a period which saw increased concerts, staged operas, dramas and exhibitions, there was actually a reduction in the number of ballet companies coming to the festival, from 19 in 1957–1966 to 12 in 1967–1976.
Also relatively fewer performances were at the Empire Theatre, with the smaller King's Theatre, Lyceum Theatre, and Church Hill Theatre all being used as alternative venues.
