Description
New York, New York: Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, 1941. Good to very good. Dust soiled with a couple short tears, wear to extremities.. Printed souvenir program for the 1941-1942 season of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, charting its tour of the United States after the outbreak of the Second World War. It opened its season at the Metropolitan Opera House on October 8th, 1941. The program includes brief synopses of each ballet, portraits of the dancers and artistic director, a partial repertoire (including 28 pieces ranging from Debussy's Afternoon of a Faun to Labyrinth and the Nutcracker), stills from performances, and brief biographies of a select few of the dancers. The Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo was formed in 1938 out of the remains of the Ballet Russes de Monte Carlo company (plural) which toured from 1932 and fractured only a few years later. The co-founder of this second iteration, Rene Blum, was arrested in December 1941 and later killed at Auschwitz. This program bears witness to a turbulent time in the company's history, when it was displaced from its European roots during wartime and faced uncertainty, yet still persisted bringing performances to audiences. Single vol. (12.25" by 9"), pp. [56], photo illus., stapled in original illus. self wrps with image by Dali.
