The premiere of the ballet was given in February 1920 at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and subsequently gave its name to a celebrated Parisian cabaret-bar, Le Boeuf sur le Toit, which became a meeting-place for Cocteau and his associates. \"Although the history of Le Boeuf - both bar and ballet - is by now well known, the nightclub's emergence as a meeting ground for the haute monde and modernist artists merits further consideration here...The Ballet earned a coveted spot in the 'Gazette du Bon Ton,' where it was depicted in a pochoir illustration by Eduardo Benito in 1920.\" (Mary E.
