Today it is difficult to imagine the impact on audiences at the beginning of the 20th century of Serge Diaghilev (1872-1929) and his Ballets Russes. Diaghilev, a genius impresario surrounded himself with the greatest avant-garde talents of his time. Wonderstruck, sometimes shocked, audiences discovered performances that brought together the best choreographers, dancers, composers, painters and decorators. Truly authors of an aesthetic revolution, the Ballets Russes had an enduring impact on theatre arts and dance. The two works presented here are performed by the lead dancers and Ballet Company of the Saint Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre which in the 19th century was the temple of classical dance. It was also in Saint Petersburg that Serge Diaghilev created Ballets Russes that he brought to international renown. The Mariinsky Orchestra is conducted by Valery Geriev, known the world over for his interpretation of Stravinsky'work.
