The Ballets Russes

The Ballets Russes A company of Russian dancers and choreographers residing in Paris from which transformed the worlds of dance, music, art, theater and fashion

Origins of the Ballets Russes Ballet had been introduced into Russia in the 18 th century during the reign of Peter the Great. In 1738, the first ballet school opened for the children of the palace servants, eventually becoming the Imperial Ballet School and the company of the Maryinsky (Kirov) Theater.

Origins of the Ballets Russes Ballet became the vogue in Russia, especially amongst the aristocracy, then a tradition. By the end of the 19 th century, the Russians had become the artistic leaders of classical ballet, breathing life back into it.

Founding of the Ballets Russes In 1904, Isadora Duncan dances in St. Petersburg. In 1906, Sergei Diaghilev ( ), a young Russian aristocrat, first exported to Paris an exhibition of Russian art. In 1907, he arranged a series of five concerts of Russian opera and music. In 1909, Diaghilev introduces the new troupe as a summer theater program of the Russian Opera and Ballet. The company was founded by Sergei Diaghilev, in 1911 as a permanent ballet company residing in Paris.
