This book by the renowned critic and "incorrigible balletomane" is more than just a tribute to Sergei Diaghilev, an outstanding impresario, theatrical figure, and celebrated figure of the Silver Age. Masterfully interweaving documentary evidence and artistic elements, the author has created a vivid portrait of an entire era.

The heroes of this true story about the legendary company that changed the perception of dance and became a symbol of cultural revolution include many outstanding artists, choreographers, dancers, composers, and impresarios. Stravinsky and Benois, Picasso and Nijinsky, Pavlova and Karsavina, Fokine and Bakst—these are just a few of the names Christiansen uses to convey all the conflicts and complexities of the relationships between the people who forged the fame of Russian ballet throughout the world, despite the most turbulent times.

"The Diaghilev Empire" is not only a chronicle of creative triumphs but also an exploration of Russian ballet's influence on global culture. This book will be a true revelation for anyone interested in art history and musical theater.
