context_page_description: The Red Poppy or sometimes The Red Flower is a ballet in three acts and eight tableaux with an apotheosis, with a score written by Reinhold Glière and libretto by Mikhail Kurilko. This ballet was created in 1927 as the first Soviet ballet with a modern revolutionary theme. Possibly the most famous dance from this ballet is the Sailors Dance, sometimes referred to as the "Russian Sailors Dance". It is this musical selection for which Glière is perhaps best known. There have been four main versions of The Red Poppy.
