It was written for the 1911 Paris season of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes company; the original choreography was by Michel Fokine and stage designs and costumes by Alexandre Benois, who assisted Stravinsky with the libretto. The ballet premiered at the Théâtre du Châtelet on June 13, 1911 with Vaslav Nijinsky as Petrushka, Tamara Karsavina as the lead ballerina, Alexander Orlov as the Moor, and Enrico Cecchetti the charlatan. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003ePetrushka\u003c\/span\u003e tells the story of the loves and jealousies of three puppets. The three are brought to life by the Charlatan during the 1830 Shrovetide Fair (Maslenitsa) in Saint Petersburg. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003ePetrushka\u003c\/span\u003e brings music, dance, and design together in a unified whole. It is one of the most popular of the Ballets Russes productions. It is usually performed today using the original designs and choreography. Grace Robert wrote in 1946, \"Although more than thirty years have elapsed since \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003ePetrushka\u003c\/span\u003e was first performed, its position as one of the greatest ballets remains unassailed. Its perfect fusion of music, choreography, and décor and its theme—the timeless tragedy of the human spirit—unite to make its appeal universal\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793764905241,"sku":"LL-3018","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-ernest_ansermet-petrushka.jpg?v=1783554622","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/ll-3018","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
