History of the Ballets Russes
Diaghilev's Ballets Russes was the premier ballet company of Europe from 1909 to 1929. The Ballets Russes was also the major ballet company in the Western World until Diaghilev's death in 1929. After his death, many of Diaghilev’s dancers continued with other companies throughout the world, while some dancers started their own companies.
The year of Diaghilev's death was the beginning of the Great Depression. The Depression was worldwide. Regardless, companies sprung up all over the western world. Many of the companies took the name Ballet Russe: Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, The Original Ballet Russe, Rene Blum's Ballet Russe.
Osipova Ballet Saint Petersburg is the result of an encounter between a Russian choreographer and a French film director. This young company was born in january, 2009 and was inspired by the success of the Mariinsky Ballet and Bolshoi Theatre and of course the notoriety of Russian Ballets in general. Future plans of Osipova Ballet St Petersburg are to create, produce and broadcast new ballets as well as to stage and introduce further versions of classical ballets.
