Polovtsian Dances
As part of his first at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, Sergei Diaghilev presented "Polovtsian Scenes and Dances", consisting of act 2 of "Prince Igor", with full orchestra and singers. The premiere took place on 18 May 1909. The choreography was by Michel Fokine and the sets and costumes were designed by Nicholas Roerich. In later seasons, without singers, the work was given as "The Polovtsian Dances". For the 1923 season, it was partly re-choreographed by Bronislava Nijinska.
