Diaghilev's Ballets Russes

"When Art Dances with Music"
We went to the Museum yesterday and enjoyed the enchanting fantasy realm of the Ballets Russes! The legendary troupe, founded by Sergei Diaghilev in 1909, revolutionized the world of dance in just twenty years. Bringing together top talents such as Nijinsky, Stravinsky, Debussy etc... the Ballets Russes became a point of convergence for dance, music and the visual arts.
Diaghilev's Ballets Russes: When Art Dances with Music showcases some 200 objects, including about fifty original wardrobe creations and set designs for The Firebird,Petrouchka, The Rite of Spring and other masterworks. Performance footage and clips of Ballets Russes signature music accompany the costumes, props and posters.www.mnba.qc.ca
