Léonide Massine at Criticker

Léonide Massine
	Date of Birth: Jan 1, 1970 Country: Russia Biography: A major creative force borne out of Serge Diaghilev's "Ballets Russes", was undisputably Europe's leading dancer and choreographer of the 1920's and 1930's. Massine choreographed over one hundred ballets, among them works that are landmarks in twentieth century dance. He created the world's first symphonic ballet, Les Présages, in 1933 using Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5. This caused a furore amongst musical purists, who objected to a serious symphonic work being used as the basis of a ballet. Total Films at Criticker: 6 - You've Seen 0
