The Ballets Russes existed for only twenty years--from 1909 to 1929--but in that brief period it transformed ballet into a vital, modern art, creating classics such as Les Sylphides, Firebird, Petrouchka, L'Apr???s-midi d'un Faune, and Le Sacre du Printemps , nurturing the century's greatest choreographers, and bringing to dance the richness of other arts as it forged partnerships between the most important composers, painters, and poets of the day. While the era of the Ballets Russes is probably the most chronicled in dance history, this book is the first to explain the company as a totality--its art, enterprise, and audience. Taking a fresh look at familiar sources and incorporating fascinating archival material previously unexamined by Diaghilev scholars, Lynn Garafola paints an extraordinary portrait of the company. She traces its origins not only from Diaghilev and his circle but also from Fokine's revolutionary secession within the Russian Imperial Ballet, shows for the first time how the art of the Ballets Russes reflected its status as a complex economic enterprise, and reveals how Diaghilev created an audience that in turn shaped his company's changing identity.
