The Diaghilev Festival presents a series of revivals/re-stagings of the original versions of The Blue God and Firebird.

Russian Ballet stars Nikolai Tsiskaridze, Ilze Liepa, Maria Alexandrova, Mikhail Lobukhin, Irma Nioradze, Ilya Kuznetsov and the Kremlin Ballet Theatre perform at the London Coliseum in celebration of the legendary impresario Sergei Diaghilev with several of the ballets he commissioned that have since gone onto become a major part of the dance repertoire.

The Blue God was created for the legendary dancer Vaslav Nijinsky and originally choreographed by Michel Fokine (in a new version by Wayne Eagling) with designs by Leon Bakst (restored by Anna and Anatoly Nezhny) and composed by Alexander Scriabin. It makes its UK debut as part of the Festival.

The Firebird was Igor Stravinsky’s breakthrough work of 1910, based on the Russian folk tale of the Firebird choreographed by Michel Fokine.
