"Russian Seasons" - legendary theatrical tours organized in 1909 by Sergei Diaghilev, a talented popularizer of Russian art. Diaghilev's productions were staged in the best European venues, our great artists - Nijinsky, Pavlova, Chaliapin, Kshesinskaya - were applauded by the sophisticated public of the world's major capitals, and the prestige of Russian opera and ballet was for the first time raised to an unattainable height.
Diaghilev's productions were a revolution in the theatrical world, each of them turned into a mesmerizing and epic show with colorful sets created by Roerich, Serov, Benois, Bakst and other Russian artists, luxurious costumes and intoxicating music by Mussorgsky, Glinka, Borodin, Stravinsky, Prokofiev....
This book is almost the only one on the book market that collects the whole palette of contemporaries' memories without outside comments and interpretations. The history of the "Russian Seasons" is told by dancers and choreographers, artists and composers, officials and theater critics, whose revelations convey the atmosphere of the early twentieth century, when Russian ballet and theater not only expanded the scope of traditional art, but also changed the face of the entire world culture.
