Memento Album: To Diaghilev and his Souls of the Ballets Russes
RUSSIA
ST PETERSBURG • State Russian Museum • Ongoing

The exhibition comprises costumes, photographs and archive materials from the collection of the Italian dancer and choreographer Toni Candeloro. Photographers such as Roosen, Lipnitzky, Von Riel and Lido capture historical, fleeting moments of the Ballets Russes in rare photos, some of which have never been seen by the public before: including seven photos of Anna Pavlova “in private” where she poses for a sculpture in the intimacy of a hotel room and a dramatic photo of Vaslav Nijinsky.
Most of these "memorable things" were donated by the etoile dancers: Tamara Toumanova, Anton Dolin, Mia Slawenska, and soloists like Nikolas Beriosof and Tatiana Kranseva; Nina Tikanova, ballerina of Ballets Nijiska, Irene Lidova, acclaimed Russian dance critic in France and Georges Chapovalenko, tutor of Vaslav Nijinsky while he was in Rootvild (Austria) in the early 1940s.
