Diaghilev's Empire

How the Ballets Russes Enthralled the World

Rupert Christiansen
With ruthless entrepreneurial flair Serge Diaghilev (1872–1929) transformed ballet into a Modernist artform. Rupert Christiansen recounts his privileged upbringing in imperial Russia, early successes in Paris and how the 1917 Revolution severed links with his homeland. He also profiles the dancers such as Nijinsky and Karsavina that he nurtured, and talents with whom he collaborated including Stravinsky and Picasso.
