Lev Ivanov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lev Ivanovich Ivanov (1834 – 1901) was a Russian ballet dancer and choreographer and later, "Second Balletmaster" of the Imperial Ballet. In 1892, due to the ill health of the venerable Imperial Balletmaster, Marius Petipa, Ivanov was charged with choreographing the entirety of The Nutcracker (1892) which he did, though closly following Petipa's notes and libretto.
He also worked with Marius Petipa on a new restaging of the (Tchaikovsky) ballet Swan Lake (1895), choreographing most of Act II and Act IV himself.
