Robert Owen Lehman's superb collection of French and Russian ballet scores, including \u003ci\u003eFirebird, Petrushka, Afternoon of a Faun\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBolero\u003c\/i\u003e, and many more, are shown here for the first time alongside the vivid stage designs and rarely seen choreographic notations for these ballets. Together they offer a fresh view into Serge Diaghilev's famed Ballets Russes troupe and its revitalization of ballet that roiled Paris in the first decades of the twentieth century. These influential ballets and their creators--composers Igor Stravinsky, Claude Debussy, and Maurice Ravel, choreographers Michel Fokine, Vaslav Nijinsky, and Bronislava Nijinska, and artists Léon Bakst, Alexandre Benois, and Natalia Goncharova--set a new agenda for European art. As the 1930s began, a new international era of modern ballet was underway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobinson McClellan\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant curator of music manuscripts and printed music at the Morgan Library \u0026amp; Museum, New York.
