rg Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 here are two more photocards of lydia kyaksht neither is dated nor identified. as the ballerina looks similarly in the one that is very likely swanilda in act 1, these might show swanilda in the 'noces du village' scene of act 3.

sandik Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Oh, these are just charming -- thank you so much for posting them. I've been interested in Kyaksht ever since I first read Karsavina's autobiography. Link to comment
Pamela Moberg Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Thankyou so much, rg, for posting those beautiful photos! Also, Lydia Kyaksht wrote a biography "Romantic recollections", London 1929. Anybody read that? I havent myself, but one can always find out if Dance Books might possibly have done a re-print. Otherwise one has got to search antiquarian book shops. Link to comment
Farrell Fan Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Abebooks.com lists three copies from three different booksellers of Madame Lydia Kyakst's "Romantic Recollections." The relatively affordable one costs $40. Link to comment
