The Ballets Russes was perhaps the most iconic, yet at the same
time mysterious, ballet company of the twentieth century. Inspired
by the unique vision of their founder Sergei Diaghilev, the company
gained a large international following. In the mid-twentieth
century - during the tumultuous years of World War II and the Cold
War - the Ballets Russes companies kept the spirit and traditions
of Russian ballet alive in the West, touring extensively in
America, Europe and Australia. This important new book uncovers
previously-unseen interviews and provides insights into the lives
of the great figures of the age - from the dancers Anna Pavlova and
Alicia Markova to the choreographers Leonide Massine, George
Balanchine and Anton Dolin. The dancers' own words reveal what life
was really like for the stars of the Ballets Russes and provide
fascinating new insights into one of the most vibrant and creative
groups of artists of the modern age.
