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’s extraordinary company, which survived a
twenty-year rollercoaster of phenomenal successes and
crippling problems, revolutionised ballet. As importantly,
Diaghilev’s use of avant-garde composers, such as Stravinsky
and designers such as Bakst, Goncharova, Picasso and Matisse,
made a major contribution to the introduction of Modernism.
