Description

Russia's renowned Kirov Ballet honors innovative dancer and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky in this quartet of live performances at Paris' Théâtre du Châtelet. The Kirov dancers present "Sheherazade," "Le Spectre de la Rose," "The Polovtsian Dances" and "The Firebird," ballets closely associated with Nijinsky. Mikhail Fokine, chief choreographer to ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev, choreographed the dances in these gala productions.
