Paris Comœdia Illustré 1910

Fine example of this rare and important programme presenting the first ever production of the famous Firebird composed by 28-year old Stravinsky.
It also included Diaghilev's productions of Sheherazade and Carnaval. Firebird was originally to be danced by Anna Pavlova but when she heard Stravinsky's music she declared it was 'noise' and refused to dance, preferring more melodious classical music. Tamara Karsavina was given the iconic role instead.
The programme features multiple photographs of the dancers, as well as colour illustrations of Bakst's costumes and set designs - some of the most famous ones being drawn for The Firebird.

Folio (32 x 25 cm). 48 pp., illustrated throughout, with Argument de Giselle loosely inserted; without [4] pp. of errata of programme changes. Original colour printed wrappers; slightly soiled.
