EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the enchanting moment when Russian ballet history was made in the heart of Paris. Ida Lvovna Rubinstein, a renowned Russian dancer, graces the stage as the titular character in the production of Cleopatra during the 1909 Paris season. A part of the legendary Ballet Russes company, founded by the visionary Sergei Diaghilev, Rubinstein's performance marked a pivotal moment in the history of dance. The Ballet Russes, known for its innovative and groundbreaking productions, brought a fresh perspective to the European ballet scene. In this photograph, Rubinston's regal and captivating portrayal of Cleopatra embodies the rich cultural exchange between Russia and France during this period. The historical significance of this moment is further emphasized by the opulent costumes and intricate set design, which transport the audience to ancient Egypt. Diaghilev's company, which included other notable dancers such as Vaslav Nijinsky and Michel Fokine, revolutionized the world of ballet by incorporating elements of modern art, music, and literature into their performances. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring influence of the Ballet Russes and the extraordinary talent of Ida Lvovna Rubinstein as Cleopatra.
