Sergei Pavlovich Diaghilev) is born 19
[31] March in Selishchev Barraks, Novgorod Province Russia (d.1929). The
Ballets Russes de Serge Diaghilev erupted onto the cultural scene of Paris in
1909. For the next twenty years, the company cultivated an extraordinary group
of emerging artists, composers, and choreographers, who collaborated to produce
the first great ballet classics of the twentieth century. By pioneering
innovations in choreographic practices, scene and costume design, and in the
very concept of ballet music itself, the Ballets Russes expanded the dramatic
and emotional potential of ballet. Some of the Ballets Russes's vanguard works
that are still performed today include Les Sylphides, The Firebird, Petrouchka,
L'Après-midi d'un Faune, Parade, Les Noces, Les Biches, Apollo, and Prodigal
Son. The man behind this achievement was the Russian impresario and
entrepreneur Serge Diaghilev, who had the wisdom, limitless imagination,
shrewdness, and most importantly, the ruthlessness required to nourish an
artistic enterprise that revolutionized the course of art, music, and dance.
