Company Detail |
|
Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo was an influential ballet company founded by René Blum and Colonel Vassily de Basil in 1933. The company followed Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, which had stopped operating when Diaghilev died in 1929. In 1938 the company was split into two: René Blum and Léonide Massine kept the original name Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, while de Basil named his company Original Ballet Russe. |
