from Part I - The Paris Premiere
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2025
Identifies and explores the surviving sources of The Rite of Spring’s original visual aspect: costumes, designs for décor, posed photographs, articles and reviews in the press (especially the full-colour supplement Comœdia illustré), and artwork by the eminent Russian painter Nicholas Roerich. Also considers the role of the Hodson/Archer reconstruction (Joffrey Ballet, broadcast in 1989) in determining the look of the ballet and how that look captivated the scholarly imagination. Provides a structured account of Roerich’s career and theatrical experience, the main stylistic characteristics of his output and, in particular, his work alongside Ballets-Russes impresario Sergei Diaghilev and composer Igor Stravinsky.
