Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo

Copyright 1994-2008 Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | From: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007 ... ballet company founded in Monte-Carlo in 1932. The name [[Ballets Russes]] had been used by the impresario [[Sergey Diaghilev]] for his company, which revolutionized ballet in the first three decades of the 20th century. Under the direction of [[Colonel W. de Basil]], the [[Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo]] brought to audiences new compositions by Léonide Massine and George Balanchine, with such dancers as Aleksandra Danilova, Leon Woizikowki, and David Lichine. Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo divided into new competitive companies in 1938, one under de Basil, the other under Massine. De Basil renamed his company the Royal Covent Garden Ballet Russe and finally the Original Ballet Russe (1939); the company toured internationally before dissolving in 1948. Massine, with René Blum, formed another Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo with the dancers Danilova, Tamara Toumanova, Dame Alicia Markova, Mia Slavenska, Serge Lifar, Igor Youskevitch, and André Eglevsky and new choreography by Massine. This company performed principally in the U.S., produced traditional revivals and works by U.S. choreographers, and featured U.S. dancers, including Maria Tallchief. The company declined in the 1950s and ceased producing in 1963; its ballet school was maintained in New York City for a time. Massine and Sergei Denham organized the new Ballets de Monte Carlo in 1966 under the patronage of Prince Rainier III of Monaco. www.britannica.com/eb/article-9012004/Ballet-Russe-de-Monte-Carlo Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo | Ballet company formed in Monte Carlo in 1932. The name derived from Sergey Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, which dissolved after his death in 1929. Under René Blum and Col. W. de Basil, the company presented works by Léonide Massine and George Balanchine and featured Alexandra Danilova, André Eglevsky, and David Lichine. In 1938 clashes split the company into two groups: the Original Ballet Russe (led by de Basil), which toured internationally before dissolving in 1948; and the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo (led by Massine), which toured mainly in the U.S. with Danilova, Alicia Markova, and Maria Tallchief until 1963. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-356456.html Maria Tallchief | (born Jan. 24, 1925, Fairfax, Okla., U.S.) U.S. ballet dancer of Native American descent. Tallchief studied with Bronislava Nijinska before joining the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo (1942–47). She joined the New York City Ballet in 1948 and became its prima ballerina, creating leading roles in many ballets choreographed for her by George Balanchine (her husband from 1946 to 1952), including Symphonie concertante (1947), Caracole (1952), and Pas de dix (1955). She left the company in 1965, became artistic director of the Lyric Opera Ballet in Chicago, and founded the Chicago City Ballet in 1980. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-380179.html Bronislava Nijinska | [orig. Bronislava Fominitshna Nizhinskaya] (born Jan. 8, 1891, Minsk, Russia—died Feb. 21, 1972, Pacific Palisades, Calif., U.S.) Russian-born U.S. dancer, choreographer, and teacher. She trained at the Imperial Ballet School in St. Petersburg and joined the Mariinsky Theatre company in 1908. She danced with the Ballets Russes in Paris from 1909, as did her brother, Vaslav Nijinsky. She choreographed several ballets for the company, including Les Noces (1923), The Blue Train (1924), and Les Biches (1924). During the 1920s and 1930s she created works for other companies, including her own (1932–37). In 1938 she moved to Los Angeles, where she opened a school, and she continued to work as a guest choreographer into the early 1960s. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-373497.html Ballets Russes | Ballet company founded in Paris in 1909 by Sergey Diaghilev. Considered the source of modern ballet, the company employed the most outstanding creative talent of the period. Its choreographers included Michel Fokine, Léonide Massine, Bronislava Nijinska, and George Balanchine, and among its dancers were Yekaterina Geltzer, Tamara Karsavina, and Vaslav Nijinsky. Music was commissioned from composers such as Igor Stravinsky, Maurice Ravel, Darius Milhaud, Sergey Prokofiev, and Claude Debussy, and ballets featured stage designs by artists Alexandre Benois, Pablo Picasso, Georges Rouault, Henri Matisse, and André Derain. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-356457.html Sergey (Pavlovich) Diaghilev | From: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007 | (born March 31, 1872, Novgorod province, Russia—died Aug. 19, 1929, Venice, Italy) Russian impresario, founder-director of the Ballets Russes. After studying law at the University of St. Petersburg (1890–96), he cofounded and edited (1899–1904) the avant-garde magazine Mir Iskusstva (“World of Art”). He then left Russia for Paris to present productions of Russian ballet and opera, to wide acclaim. In 1909 he established the Ballets Russes, in which he achieved a stunning synthesis of dance, art, and music by bringing together superb choreographers, dancers, composers, and artists and set designers. He led the company until his death. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-362657.html Michel Fokine | From: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007 | [orig. Mikhail Mikhaylovich Fokine] (born April 23, 1880, St. Petersburg, Russia—died Aug. 22, 1942, New York, N.Y., U.S.) Russian-born U.S. dancer and choreographer. He trained at the Imperial Ballet School in St. Petersburg and debuted at the Mariinsky Theatre at age 18. Following his creation of The Dying Swan for Anna Pavlova in 1905, he was in demand as a choreographer. When his ambitious scenario for a ballet on the story of Daphnis and Chloe was rejected, Sergey Diaghilev in 1909 engaged Fokine at the Ballets Russes in Paris, where he choreographed works such as The Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911), and Daphnis and Chloe (1912). In these ballets he strove for a greater dramatic and stylistic unity than had been previously known. He moved to New York City in 1923 and thereafter choreographed works for companies in the US and Europe. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-364626.html Léonide Massine | From: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007 | [orig.

He joined the Ballets Russes in 1914 and produced his first ballet, Midnight Sun, in 1915; this was followed by Parade (1917), The Three-Cornered Hat (1919), and Pulcinella (1920). He extended Michel Fokine's reforms by enriching the characterization of many roles. During 1932–38 he was principal dancer and choreographer for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. His ballets Les Présages (1933), Choreartium (1933), and Rouge et noir (1939) displayed innovative choreography and set designs and were among the first dances based on symphonies. In 1938–42 he directed his re-formed Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, and he became artistic director of a new Ballet de Monte Carlo in 1966. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-371494.html George Balanchine | From: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007 | [orig.

After studying at the Imperial Ballet School, he left the Soviet Union in 1925 to join the Ballets Russes, where his choreography of Apollo (1928) exemplified the spare neoclassical style that became his trademark. His work impressed the impresario Lincoln Kirstein, who in 1933 invited “Mr. B.” to form the School of American Ballet and its performing group, the American Ballet. The group became the Metropolitan Opera's resident company (1935–38) but disbanded in 1941. In 1946 Kirstein and Balanchine founded the Ballet Society, from which emerged the New York City Ballet in 1948. Balanchine created more than 150 works for the company, including The Nutcracker (1954), Don Quixote (1965), and Jewels (1967), and he also choreographed musicals and operas. He collaborated closely with the composer Igor Stravinsky, setting more than 30 works to his music.

Les Ballets

... Paris-based chamber ballet company which survived only one season ... was notable for having Balanchine as its sole choreographer. Specially commissioned scores were written by Darius Milhaud and Kurt Weill, while André Derain, Christian Bérard and Caspar Neher were the designers. Ballets performed at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris and at the Savoy Theatre in London included Fastes, Les Songes, L'Errante, Mozartiana and The Seven Deadly Sins. The company owed its existence to the patronage of a wealthy Englishman, Edward James, who was married to the Viennese dancer Tilly Losch. She created leading roles in both L'Errante and The Seven Deadly Sins. One of the most historic meetings in all ballet, that of Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, took place during the company's appearance in London.

Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo

Copyright 1994-2008 Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | From: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007 ... ballet company founded in Monte-Carlo in 1932. The name [[Ballets Russes]] had been used by the impresario [[Sergey Diaghilev]] for his company, which revolutionized ballet in the first three decades of the 20th century. Under the direction of [[Colonel W. de Basil]], the [[Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo]] brought to audiences new compositions by Léonide Massine and George Balanchine, with such dancers as Aleksandra Danilova, Leon Woizikowki, and David Lichine. Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo divided into new competitive companies in 1938, one under de Basil, the other under Massine. De Basil renamed his company the Royal Covent Garden Ballet Russe and finally the Original Ballet Russe (1939); the company toured internationally before dissolving in 1948. Massine, with René Blum, formed another Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo with the dancers Danilova, Tamara Toumanova, Dame Alicia Markova, Mia Slavenska, Serge Lifar, Igor Youskevitch, and André Eglevsky and new choreography by Massine. This company performed principally in the U.S., produced traditional revivals and works by U.S. choreographers, and featured U.S. dancers, including Maria Tallchief. The company declined in the 1950s and ceased producing in 1963; its ballet school was maintained in New York City for a time. Massine and Sergei Denham organized the new Ballets de Monte Carlo in 1966 under the patronage of Prince Rainier III of Monaco. www.britannica.com/eb/article-9012004/Ballet-Russe-de-Monte-Carlo Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo | Ballet company formed in Monte Carlo in 1932. The name derived from Sergey Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, which dissolved after his death in 1929. Under René Blum and Col. W. de Basil, the company presented works by Léonide Massine and George Balanchine and featured Alexandra Danilova, André Eglevsky, and David Lichine. In 1938 clashes split the company into two groups: the Original Ballet Russe (led by de Basil), which toured internationally before dissolving in 1948; and the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo (led by Massine), which toured mainly in the U.S. with Danilova, Alicia Markova, and Maria Tallchief until 1963. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-356456.html Maria Tallchief | (born Jan. 24, 1925, Fairfax, Okla., U.S.) U.S. ballet dancer of Native American descent. Tallchief studied with Bronislava Nijinska before joining the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo (1942–47). She joined the New York City Ballet in 1948 and became its prima ballerina, creating leading roles in many ballets choreographed for her by George Balanchine (her husband from 1946 to 1952), including Symphonie concertante (1947), Caracole (1952), and Pas de dix (1955). She left the company in 1965, became artistic director of the Lyric Opera Ballet in Chicago, and founded the Chicago City Ballet in 1980. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-380179.html Bronislava Nijinska | [orig. Bronislava Fominitshna Nizhinskaya] (born Jan. 8, 1891, Minsk, Russia—died Feb. 21, 1972, Pacific Palisades, Calif., U.S.) Russian-born U.S. dancer, choreographer, and teacher. She trained at the Imperial Ballet School in St. Petersburg and joined the Mariinsky Theatre company in 1908. She danced with the Ballets Russes in Paris from 1909, as did her brother, Vaslav Nijinsky. She choreographed several ballets for the company, including Les Noces (1923), The Blue Train (1924), and Les Biches (1924). During the 1920s and 1930s she created works for other companies, including her own (1932–37). In 1938 she moved to Los Angeles, where she opened a school, and she continued to work as a guest choreographer into the early 1960s. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-373497.html Ballets Russes | Ballet company founded in Paris in 1909 by Sergey Diaghilev. Considered the source of modern ballet, the company employed the most outstanding creative talent of the period. Its choreographers included Michel Fokine, Léonide Massine, Bronislava Nijinska, and George Balanchine, and among its dancers were Yekaterina Geltzer, Tamara Karsavina, and Vaslav Nijinsky. Music was commissioned from composers such as Igor Stravinsky, Maurice Ravel, Darius Milhaud, Sergey Prokofiev, and Claude Debussy, and ballets featured stage designs by artists Alexandre Benois, Pablo Picasso, Georges Rouault, Henri Matisse, and André Derain. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-356457.html Sergey (Pavlovich) Diaghilev | From: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007 | (born March 31, 1872, Novgorod province, Russia—died Aug. 19, 1929, Venice, Italy) Russian impresario, founder-director of the Ballets Russes. After studying law at the University of St. Petersburg (1890–96), he cofounded and edited (1899–1904) the avant-garde magazine Mir Iskusstva (“World of Art”). He then left Russia for Paris to present productions of Russian ballet and opera, to wide acclaim. In 1909 he established the Ballets Russes, in which he achieved a stunning synthesis of dance, art, and music by bringing together superb choreographers, dancers, composers, and artists and set designers. He led the company until his death. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-362657.html Michel Fokine | From: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007 | [orig. Mikhail Mikhaylovich Fokine] (born April 23, 1880, St. Petersburg, Russia—died Aug. 22, 1942, New York, N.Y., U.S.) Russian-born U.S. dancer and choreographer. He trained at the Imperial Ballet School in St. Petersburg and debuted at the Mariinsky Theatre at age 18. Following his creation of The Dying Swan for Anna Pavlova in 1905, he was in demand as a choreographer. When his ambitious scenario for a ballet on the story of Daphnis and Chloe was rejected, Sergey Diaghilev in 1909 engaged Fokine at the Ballets Russes in Paris, where he choreographed works such as The Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911), and Daphnis and Chloe (1912). In these ballets he strove for a greater dramatic and stylistic unity than had been previously known. He moved to New York City in 1923 and thereafter choreographed works for companies in the US and Europe. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-364626.html Léonide Massine | From: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007 | [orig.

He joined the Ballets Russes in 1914 and produced his first ballet, Midnight Sun, in 1915; this was followed by Parade (1917), The Three-Cornered Hat (1919), and Pulcinella (1920). He extended Michel Fokine's reforms by enriching the characterization of many roles. During 1932–38 he was principal dancer and choreographer for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. His ballets Les Présages (1933), Choreartium (1933), and Rouge et noir (1939) displayed innovative choreography and set designs and were among the first dances based on symphonies. In 1938–42 he directed his re-formed Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, and he became artistic director of a new Ballet de Monte Carlo in 1966. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-371494.html George Balanchine | From: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007 | [orig.

After studying at the Imperial Ballet School, he left the Soviet Union in 1925 to join the Ballets Russes, where his choreography of Apollo (1928) exemplified the spare neoclassical style that became his trademark. His work impressed the impresario Lincoln Kirstein, who in 1933 invited “Mr. B.” to form the School of American Ballet and its performing group, the American Ballet. The group became the Metropolitan Opera's resident company (1935–38) but disbanded in 1941. In 1946 Kirstein and Balanchine founded the Ballet Society, from which emerged the New York City Ballet in 1948. Balanchine created more than 150 works for the company, including The Nutcracker (1954), Don Quixote (1965), and Jewels (1967), and he also choreographed musicals and operas. He collaborated closely with the composer Igor Stravinsky, setting more than 30 works to his music. Balanchine's work remains in the repertoires of many companies worldwide, and he is widely considered the greatest choreographer of the 20th century. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1B1-356413.html New York City Ballet | From: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007 | Preeminent U.S. ballet company.

Les Ballets

... Paris-based chamber ballet company which survived only one season ... was notable for having Balanchine as its sole choreographer. Specially commissioned scores were written by Darius Milhaud and Kurt Weill, while André Derain, Christian Bérard and Caspar Neher were the designers. Ballets performed at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris and at the Savoy Theatre in London included Fastes, Les Songes, L'Errante, Mozartiana and The Seven Deadly Sins. The company owed its existence to the patronage of a wealthy Englishman, Edward James, who was married to the Viennese dancer Tilly Losch. She created leading roles in both L'Errante and The Seven Deadly Sins. One of the most historic meetings in all ballet, that of Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, took place during the company's appearance in London.
