ViolinConcerto Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Ohhhhh. All I can say is (to quote Pope) "Had we but world enough, and Time...." then we could visit all the exhibitions, watch all the film clips, etc. Thanks, CM. How DO you keep up with so much? Link to comment
CM Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 It's not too hard to follow Diaghilev-related events as they tend to get quite a lot of coverage. Some more links: The estate of Countess Ahlefeldt, sole beneficiary of Serge Lifar's will, to be sold at the Hôtel des Ventes in Geneva in March. “At this auction collectors and aficionados can expect to find not only drawings by Picasso worth more than CHF 100,000 but also dedicated programmes (CHF 200), his travelling trunk (CHF 300) and his favourite little teddy bear (CHF 200)” http://www.artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=11&int_new=53500 http://www.hoteldesventes.ch/encheres/ A Picasso exhibition, featuring le Tricorne and with some ballet-related events, opens at Tate Britain on 15th February http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitions/picassoandbritain/default.shtm Article on the last Tate Picasso exhibition (summer of 1960) http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2012/jan/29/picasso-tate-1960-art-blockbuster?newsfeed=true La Caixa's Ballets Russes exhibition moves from Barcelona to Madrid and opens on 17th February http://www.agendacentrosobrasociallacaixa.es/ca/caixaforum-madrid/2012gener-abril/els-ballets-russos-de-diaghilev-1909-1929 “Elegance in exile, between fashion and costume, the Diaghilev era” in Venice has been extended through to May 31, 2012 http://mocenigo.visitmuve.it/en/mostre-en/mostre-in-corso-en/elegance-in-exile/2011/10/4651/project-8/ Link to comment
CM Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Correction: The end date of the Venice “Elegance in exile” exhibition is now unclear.

sandik Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Massine's former home on the Li Galli archipelago “ a place touched by the Gods” The bedroom with the teal and white tiles -- wow. Link to comment
CM Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Some of the tiling reminds me of Leighton House. Maybe it was an influence? http://www.telegraph...d-Leighton.html There are some more photos of Li Galli at http://itopus.blogsp...o-was-once.html Links between dance and art in Paris are explored at the “Danser La Vie” exhibition at the Pompidou Centre (continues until 2 April 2012) http://www.dailymoti...l-2012_creation I have just discovered that Roger Desormiere's arrangement of Strauss for “le Beau Danube” is currently available on CD (conductor Richard Bonynge) with Graduation Ball (conductor Antal Dorati http://www.amazon.com/Johann-Strauss-II-Graduation-Danube/dp/B000CIXCTG Link to comment

CM Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 A second Diaghilev-related concert from France – this one took place on 16th March 2012 with the orchestre philarmonique de Radio France. The pieces are Debussy's “l'apres-midi d'un faune” and “la mer”, Ravel's “la valse” and Stravinsky's “firebird” (1919 version). This concert will be available at cite de la musique until mid June and also at Arte Live Web. http://www.citedelamusiquelive.tv/Concert/0983800.html http://liveweb.arte.tv/fr/video/Orchestre_Philharmonique_Radio_France_Unicef_Myung-Whum_Chung_debussy_stravinsky_ravel/ It is a very special concert as it is a fundraiser for UNICEF - the orchestra and their musical director Myung-Whun Chung have been ambassadors for UNICEF since 2007. The concert features some of the pupils of the orchestra. If you enjoy the concert, maybe you might wish to consider making a donation to UNICEF. Link to comment
