Diagilev. General’naia repetitsiia (Diagilev: dress rehearsal), 9785895803776
Moscow: Tret'iakovskaia galereia, 2022. Sewn pb. Sergei Diagilev brought together the most talented painters, composers, and dancers in early twentieth-century Russia to create the Ballets Russes and introduced to Western Europe such great artists and performers as Natalia Goncharova, Nicholas Roerich, Alexander Golovin, Lev Bakst, and Mikhail Larionov, Anna Pavlova Olga Spesivtseva, and Vaslav Nijinsky. Typical of the concentration of talents in one production is a poster advertising a libretto by Jean Cocteau, choreography by Mikhail Fokin, music by Reynaldo Hahn, and designs by Lev Bakst. The catalogue is designed as imaginatively as Diagilev’s productions and intersperses photographs of dancers rehearsing and performing, costumes actually worn by Diagilev’s dancers, and drawings of set and costume designs. 220 p., approx. 200 color and b/w illus. Rus. with summary in ENGLISH. Item #4400
