Les Ballets Russes was a Russian ballet company active mainly in Europe for 20 years from 1909 to 1929. It was not a conventional ballet company affiliated with an opera house, but a private ballet company that did not have its own theater, which was rare at that time. The Ballets Russes’ activities, which had continued to shock the world and breathe new life into the art, came to an abrupt end with Diaghilev’s sudden death. However, some of the Ballets Russes were taken over by the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo, and the dancers and choreographers of the Ballets Russes continued to perform throughout the world, and they also established ballet schools to teach younger generations, which greatly expanded the popularity of ballet and the ballet market. This book was published immediately after Diaghilev’s death, perhaps to preserve a record of the golden age of the Russian ballet company from 1921 to 1929. The book is full of valuable photographs and text. An essential book for fans of the Ballets Russes. Publisher: THE BODLAEY HEAD 1931. 291 x 240 x 28 mm hardcover.
