		Leonide Massine was one of the most talented choreographers of all times.
		In his early years, he was the star of the Ballets Russes which often toured the U.S. In the Boston Sunday Herald dated January 28, 1916, the critic proclaimed that "To Leonide Massine, one of the younger men of the troupe, will fall most of the parts that had been allotted to Nijinksy.
		All the tricks and feats of his art seem very simple when done by him, for his ease is such that one fails to see any difficulty in any-thing he does." Massine also choreographed 17 ballets for Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes.

		It was he who, in 1917, choreographed the infamous "Parade", a cubist ballet produced in collaboration with Picasso and the musician Satie.

		We have clues here, because after the European outbreak of World War II in 1939, for more or less the next decade, Massine, the most critically admired and publicly accepted choreographer of the period, was based in the United States.
		Alexander Gorsky was a major influence on Massine, for he had trained in Moscow and in 1912 joined Moscow's Bolshoi Ballet.
		Massine definitely subscribed to the Fokine/Diaghilev formula for ballet-making, which placed more or less equal emphasis on music, design, and drama, as well as dance.

		The ballet, which was choreographed by Robert Helpmann, the leading male ballet dancer of his era, and which also stars him and Massine, who is fantastic as the shoemaker, is a breathtaking, 17-minute sequence that has huge and impressive sets and many surreal effects.
		The music is very beautiful and haunting and the sequence is one of the most magical in the history of film.
		Massine was wonderfully dignified and distinguished in life.

	AroundCinci :: The Cincinnati Ballet presents "Seventh Symphony"
		A work dubbed by Wagner to be “the apotheosis of dance,” this piece marks the beginning of the composer’s third period, the time of his final break with the conventions of the Classical period and evolution of his Romantic persona.
		The ballet for this music was created in 1938 by the legendary Russian choreographer Massine for the Ballet Russes de Monte-Carlo, but has not been staged since.
		Already in the spotlight for the Massine, the Ballet’s goal this year should be to surpass expectations and move into a role as a mature company.

		If you've got Massine in the lead role of the Miller -- the simple story involves him, his wife, and the hilarity that ensues when a decrepit governor tries to steal her -- charisma will go along way to disguise that these are not Flamenco dancers.
		Two years after the 1919 premiere of "Le Tricorne," Massine having left the Ballets Russes, Diaghilev was in search of a spectacle for the company's Spring season at the Gaite-Lyrique.
