The Ballets Russes in Australia
Our Cultural Revolution
Between 1936 and 1940 the Australian public was introduced to a brilliant and exotic company of dancers, productions, stage designs, costumes and music, the likes of which had never been seen or heard here before. The Ballets Russes, Sergei Diaghilev’s dazzling company of artists, revitalised the art form of ballet and had a profound effect on Australian cultural life.
