[edit] Apollo
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.

[edit] Ballets Russes performs in Australia
Ballets Russes companies performed in Australia between 1936 and 1940. Max Dupain, Australian photographer, took photographs of the principal dancers during this period. (See external link below)

[edit] Ballets Russes and Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo
I'd like to come up with a sub-category (similar to Ballet companies in Canada, in the US, etc.) for Ballets Russes and Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo -- and perhaps any other "legacy" companies as the computer people would call them -- but genuinely cannot come up with a name that sounds right for ballet. Ideas? Robert Greer (talk) 22:34, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Members of Company
In this article there is no mention of Alexandra Danilova while in her article there is mention how she and George Balanchine left Soviet and joined this Company. Does anyone know which statement is correct? Lindus (talk) 14:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
