Apollo[edit]

I've just removed Apollo from the list of works the Ballets Russes premiered, but I know there are a few sources that say they did, so I thought I'd better exaplin myself. It was written on a commission by Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge and premiered in the US with choreography by Adolph Bolm, who I believe had been a member of the Ballets Russes at one point, but wasn't any longer. The other dancers, as far as I can make out, were American. It was only given in Paris by the Ballets Russes a couple of months later. The University of Surrey has a great new database for checking this sort of stuff, incidentally. (I'm assuming ApolloisApollon musagète, by the way, and not some other work I don't know about - if it is, please put it back, and apologies) --Camembert

Here is the list of Ballets Russe productions given in the French article, its nice because it has the composer etc, but it is slightly incompatible with the list given here and I haven't found an article allowing me to reconcil the two.Notjim 09:42, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Came here looking for conductors associates with the Ballets Russes... which would be a suggestion for possible inclusion. Jim 17:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if there was anyone who could provide a phoenetic pronunciation guide. I don't know how to pronounce it perfectly. Anyone? Caleb- 9:03, Sept. 27, 2006.

Ballets Russes performs in Australia[edit]

Ballets Russes companies performed in Australia between 1936 and 1940. Max Dupain, Australian photographer, took photographs of the principal dancers during this period. (See external link below)

I'd like to come up with a sub-category (similar to Ballet companies in Canada, in the US, etc.) for Ballets Russes and Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo -- and perhaps any other "legacy" companies as the computer people would call them -- but genuinely cannot come up with a name that sounds right for ballet. Ideas? Robert Greer (talk) 22:34, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In this article there is no mention of Alexandra Danilova while in her article there is mention how she and George Balanchine left Soviet and joined this Company. Does anyone know which statement is correct? Lindus (talk) 14:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ballets suédois is not Ballets Suédois. Why is Ballets Russes not Ballets russes? -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 19:27, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a question of different capitalisation rules. The French rules for title and organisation name capitalisation are quite involved, but generally only one main word or a real proper name (la Marche turque), are capitalised (see fr:Capitale et majuscule). In English all non-trivial words are capitalised. Thus fr:Ballets russes for the French Wikipedia. How the title is rendered in English depends (I would think) on whether the French name is so familiar that it is also the English name, or whether it is regarded as an unfamiliar foreign name which should retain its own capitalisation (I did not find any guidance about capitalising foreign phrases except for Latin after a quick look in WP:MOSCAPS but the example there of knackbrot seems wrong to me, it should be Knackbrot). Ballet Russes is familiar enough to be regarded as the English proper name (look at common usage elsewhere for example) so I think Ballets Russes is correct for the English Wikipedia, whereas Ballets suédois is (still) a foreign name so that is also correct. – Mirokado (talk) 20:18, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can see some sense in that rationale. It's just that it looked odd when these 2 companies were juxtaposed in Roger Désormière. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 20:23, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am not clear what the sources are for File:Diaghilev1.jpg (Diaghilev's influence on Western ballet) or whether it has been created without references? Cg2p0B0u8m (talk) 13:12, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
