I've just removed Apollo from the list of works the Ballets Russes premiered, but I know there are a few sources that say they did, so I thought I'd better exaplin myself. It was written on a commission by Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge and premiered in the US with choreography by Adolph Bolm, who I believe had been a member of the Ballets Russes at one point, but wasn't any longer. The other dancers, as far as I can make out, were American. It was only given in Paris by the Ballets Russes a couple of months later. The University of Surrey has a great new database for checking this sort of stuff, incidentally. (I'm assuming Apollo is Apollon musagète, by the way, and not some other work I don't know about - if it is, please put it back, and apologies) --Camembert

Here is the list of Ballets Russe productions given in the French article, its nice because it has the composer etc, but it is slightly incompatible with the list given here and I haven't found an article allowing me to reconcil the two.Notjim 09:42, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Conductors

Came here looking for conductors associates with the Ballets Russes... which would be a suggestion for possible inclusion. Jim 17:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

I was wondering if there was anyone who could provide a phoenetic pronunciation guide. I don't know how to pronounce it perfectly. Anyone? Caleb- 9:03, Sept. 27, 2006.
