Igor Stravinsky’s ballet
Petrouchka was first staged by Michel Fokine during
the saisons russes in Paris in 1911. Fokine’s ballet was
brought to the Mariinsky Theatre’s repertoire by Leonid Leontiev
in 1920. Specially for the VI Festival Maslenitsa
(Shrovetide), the American dancer and choreographer Gary Chryst
has worked to bring back the ballet to the Mariinsky Theatre. Chryst worked on
stage rehearsals of Petrouchka for the acclaimed Joffrey
Ballet in New York in 1970 under Diaghilev’s friend Leonide
Massine, a soloist with the Ballets russes and an renowned
choreographer. In 2006, Chryst staged Petrouchka
for American Ballet Theatre and later for the National Ballet
of Canada.
