Abstract

Serge Diaghilev's Russian Ballet amazed the world, inspiring modern dance and transforming the art of theatre. Between 1936 and 1940, the heirs to Diaghilev's company, the de Basil Russian Ballet, toured Australia. The exhibition will display 70 splendid costumes – works by Bakst, Benois, Goncharova, Larionov, Matisse, Braque, Derain, de Chirico and Delaunay with original film footage of performances.
