Ballet Russe (English name)

Japanese: バレエ・リュッス(英語表記)Ballet Russe
Ballet Russe (English name)
A ballet company that was mainly active in Europe from 1909 to 1929, led by the Russian art lover Diaghilev. It is also called the Russian Ballet. At first, it performed not only ballets but also operas and was called Saisons Russe, a name that is still used in Russian documents today. The first performance was held in May-June 1909 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. All the pieces were choreographed by M. Fokine. Fokine was strongly opposed to the ballets of the time being created solely to showcase the dancers' techniques, and insisted that each ballet should be expressed according to its own requirements.

ロシアの芸術愛好家ディアギレフの主宰により,1909年より29年まで主としてヨーロッパを中心に活動したバレエ団。ロシア・バレエ団ともいう。最初はバレエのみでなく歌劇も交えて上演し,セゾン・リュッスSaison Russeと呼ばれたため,現在もロシアの文献ではこの名称が用いられる。第1回公演は1909年5~6月にパリのシャトレ座で開催された。演目はすべてM.フォーキンの振付によるものであった。フォーキンは当時のバレエが踊り手の技術を見せるためにのみ制作されることに強く反対し,個々のバレエの内容そのものが要求する表現をとることを主張した。
