Context: Tamara Platonovna Karsavina (Russian: Тама́ра Плато́новна Карса́вина , 10 March 1885 – 26 May 1978) was a Russian prima ballerina, renowned for her beauty, who was a principal artist of the Imperial Russian Ballet and later of the Ballets Russes of Serge Diaghilev.

Petrushka (French: "Pétrouchka" ; Russian: "Петрушка" ) is a ballet burlesque in four scenes.  It was composed in 1910–11 and revised in 1947.  Igor Stravinsky composed the music, and, with Alexandre Benois, fashioned the libretto.  Michel Fokine choreographed the ballet; Benois designed the sets and costumes.  "Petrushka" was first performed by Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris on 13 June 1911.  Vaslav Nijinsky portrayed Petrushka with Tamara Karsavina as the Ballerina.  Alexander Orlov portrayed the Moor, and Enrico Cecchetti the Charlatan. Prima ballerina assoluta is a title awarded to the most notable of female ballet dancers. To be recognised as a "prima ballerina assoluta" is a rare honour, traditionally reserved only for the most exceptional dancers of their generation.  Originally inspired by the Italian ballet masters of the early Romantic ballet, and literally meaning "absolute first ballerina", the title was bestowed on a prima ballerina who was considered to be exceptionally talented, above the standard of other leading ballerinas.  The title is very rarely used today and recent uses have typically been symbolic, either in recognition of a prestigious international career, or for exceptional service to a particular ballet company.  There is no universal procedure for designating who may receive the title, which has led to dispute in the ballet community over who can legitimately claim it.  It is usually a ballet company that bestows the title, however some dancers have had the title officially sanctioned by a government or head of state, sometimes for political rather than artistic reasons.
