Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballet Russes (1909 - 1929) - is a visually stunning experience that surrounds you in a make believe world of stage props, set designs and OTT costumes.
The V&A's major autumn exhibition explores the world of the influential artistic director Serge Diaghilev and the most exciting dance company of the 20th century, the Ballets Russes. Diaghilev imaginatively combined dance, music and art to create 'total theatre'. A consummate collaborator, he worked with Stravinsky, Chanel, Picasso, Matisse and Nijinsky.
Brilliant show, stunning layout and beautifully staged. The V&A do it again!
