Classical heritage ballets in 1917–1920s in Petrograd: A chronicle of survival

Abstract

   After the revolutionary events of 1917, a new audience came to the theaters that were recently called imperial theatres. In a changed country, the renewal of the repertoire has become inevitable. For many of Petipa’s ballets, the surrounding changes proved fatal. The complexity of setting up the scenery, the large number of participants in these performances became an obstacle to the further stage life of the big ballets in conditions of austerity in the country, the lack of food in Petrograd and the mass departure of artists abroad. The performances that stayed on the billboard were teetering on the brink of survival under the onslaught of new values and changed tastes of the audience.
