Diaghilev and The Ballets Russes
This lecture tells the story of the revolutionary company which Diaghilev established in Paris in 1909 and led until his death in 1929. Building on the achievements of Tchaikovsky and Petipa, Diaghilev transformed classical ballet into modern dance by inviting modern artists of the calibre of Bakst, Picasso and Matisse to collaborate with composers such as Stravinsky, Debussy and Ravel, choreographers such as Fokine and Balanchine, and dancers such as Pavlova, Karsavina and Nijinsky.
In the series:
Feb. 11: Diaghilev and The Ballets Russes
Feb. 18: Faberge and the Firebird: Russian Art Under the Last Tsar
Feb. 25: An Unlikely Revolutionary: The Life and Works of Anton Chekhov
