- Summary:
- The performances of the Ballets Russes of Serge Diaghilev were by all accounts magnificent. From Russia with Love: Costumes for the Ballets Russes 1909-1933 traces the story of the Ballets Russes through the work of the company's designers, among whom were some of the foremost artists of the day -- costumes, original drawings, and sets which evoke the magical sights, sounds, and sense of a Ballets Russes performance.
- Essays discuss the phenomenon of the Ballets Russes from its origins in St. Petersburg at the beginning of the century to its legacy as far away as Australia, decades later.
