		Diaghilev's genius and his extraordinary knowledge of all the arts, from painting to music, led him to discover and inspire genius in others and to facilitate the collaboration of his discoveries.
		Estranged from Diaghilev after his marriage, Nijinsky became depressed and delusional and was committed to a mental hospital by his wife.
		Diaghilev's next discovery was an unknown young actor, Léonide Massine, whom he developed into a great dancer and one of the seminal choreographers of the twentieth century.

		Sergei Pavlovich Diaghilev (Сергей Павлович Дягилев) (March 19, 1872 – August 19, 1929), often known as Serge, was a Russian ballet impresario and founder of the Ballets Russes from which many famous dancers and choreographers would later arise.
		Diaghilev heard Stravinsky's early orchestral works Fireworks and Scherzo Fantastique, and was impressed enough to ask Stravinsky to arrange some pieces by Frederic Chopin for the Ballets Russes.
		Diaghilev was a pioneer in adapting these new musical styles to modern ballet.

		Diaghilev presented an extraordinary range of ballet genres, from the romantic Giselle (1910), to the light and surreal Parade (1917), to the lavish Russian Imperial style of The Sleeping Beauty (1921).
		Diaghilev was extraordinarily effective in stimulating the creative gifts of the people he worked with, and his drawing together of the major talents of his era was a catalyst for much of the art and music of the period.
		Diaghilev commissioned many musical scores from the Russian-born composer Igor Stravinsky, including The Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911), The Rite of Spring (1913), Les Noces (1923), and Apollon musagète (1928).

	Ballets Russes
		Serge Diaghilev (1872-1929) was an impresario, the manager of the Ballets Russes that created a sensation in Western Europe in the early years of the 20th century.
		Third, Diaghilev was a superb spotter of talent, a master showman, and a man who knew his audiences.
		After Diaghilev's death the company's properties were claimed by creditors (he himself died in poverty), and the dancers were, more or less, scattered.

	Telegraph \| Arts \| Sale of the week: Serge Diaghilev's handkerchief
		A checked silk handkerchief still bearing the sweat of the dying Serge Diaghilev, and the thermometer that measured his temperature at 106F the night he died in Venice in August 1929, were among a hoard of items owned by his last star and lover, Serge Lifar, that sold at Sotheby's for £120,000 (estimate £120,000-£150,000).
		Lifar was one of the most glamorous and significant dancers in ballet history, outshining even the ballerinas of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, and the first muse for the choreographic genius George Balanchine, who evolved his radical neoclassical style by creating the seminal ballets Apollo and The Prodigal Son for Lifar.
		Diaghilev formally kissed Lifar's leg after the 1928 premiere of Apollo, commenting that he had only ever kissed the leg of Nijinsky before.

		To most of the world, Serge Grigoriev is a name on a birth certificate in Tichvin, Russia, but when we go to the ballet today we are in debt to him for the classic ballets from the repertory of Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes.
		After the death of Diaghilev in 1929 the company disbanded; Grigoriev and his wife joined Colonel de Basil's Ballet Russe in 1932, restaging the original choreography of Diaghilev's repertoire and remaining until 1948.
		Diaghilev was willing to lose Pavlova, when she resented his preference for the male dancers.

		Diaghilev had with him an outstanding choreographer in Mikhail Fokine, whose ballets, over the years, such as Shéhérazade, Les Sylphides, Firebird and Petrushka, are still in the repertoire of companies all over the world, including St Petersburg where he was originally seen as a rebel.
		Diaghilev could call on such artists as Roerich, Golovin, Bakst and Benois and, above all, he had the cooperation of composer Igor Stravinsky, who was commissioned to write the music for Firebird, Petrushka, The Rite of Spring and Les Noces.
		Diaghilev also brought Westerners into his company, such as the British Alicia Markova and Anton Dolin (who had to Russianise their names for Diaghilev) and the Irish Ninette de Valois.

		I've long been interested in Diaghilev's ballet company and don't deny that I should very much like to be associated with this splendid enterprise but the question is whether the enterprise now wants to be associated with me. Even the prospect of meeting him was alarming.
		Diaghilev as a personality has always interested me; I knew that he had great charm.
		He was terribly smart, in evening dress and top hat and offered me a white-gloved hand, saying that he was very pleased to make my acquaintance, something he'd long been anxious to do and invited me to attend any performances...

		Serge Lifar was Diaghilev’s last great male dance protégé, and the one most responsible for keeping the great impresario’s genius alive for future generations.
		During the company’s first tour of the United States in 1916, Leon Bakst, inadvertently gave Serge Diaghilev the best and most accurate epitaph in an interview with the Boston Evening Transcript: “It doesn’t matter who the principal stars are, if Diaghilev is with the troupe.
		When Diaghilev is on the ground he is the bright particular star – although the public never sees him and he avoids all personal publicity.

		Diaghilev did not have so much a good musical judgement as an immense flair for recognizing the potentiality of success in a piece of music or work of art in general.
		So far from weeping and reciting Pushkin in the Bois de Boulogne as the legend is, Diaghilev’s only comment was, “Exactly what I wanted.” He certainly looked contented.

	Program Notes
		The Firebird was first given by Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes at the Opéra in Paris on June 25, 1910.
		It was first given in America by Diaghilev’s company on January 17, 1916, at the Century Theatre in New York, with Ernest Ansermet conducting.
		Serge Diaghilev, whose Ballets Russes turned around the visual taste of cultivated Europeans in the first decade of the twentieth century, was a great producer partly because he was a talent scout of uncommon fantasy and daring, yet in the case of The Firebird his instinct took time to find its target.

		On her fourteenth birthday Alicia was accepted into the Ballets Russes, where she was renamed Alicia Markova and where she danced until Diaghilev's untimely death in 1929.
		In her years with Diaghilev she created the role of the Nightingale in Balanchine's Le Chant du Rossignol (see picture) and danced in most of the repertory; by the time Diaghilev died in 1929 she was an established name on the international scene.
		In the early days her name was as valuable as her talent: she brought with her the sophistication and glamour of the Diaghilev company, and attracted those balletomanes who thought only Russian ballet worth watching.

		As impresario, Serge Diaghilev marshalled the best of the artistic forces of the early 20th century in the Ballets Russes, which embraced not only dance luminaries like Nijinsky, Balanchine, and Adolph Bolm but also musical innovators like Stravinsky, Prokofiev, and Rimsky-Korsakov and visual artists like Picasso, Matisse, and Leger.
		First, she notes, ``he transformed the character of ballet music, putting the final nail in the coffin of the specialist tradition exemplified by such composers as Ludwig Minkus and Cesare Pugni.'' He instead used music that was performed in concert, most notably working with Stravinsky on Firebird, Petrouchka, Le Sacre du Printemps.
		Diaghilev also ``invented'' the one-act ballet, took costume and set design out of the hands of specialists and handed the entire production to one artist with a unifying vision, elevated the role of male dancers, and built on a classical foundation to explore new types of movement.
