Twinkle toes – lace up those points. Known for their extraordinary performances, extravagant costumes and forward-thinking composers, Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes revolutionised the world of ballet.
This major retrospective - now on show in Madrid after hit runs in Barcelona and at London's V&A - delves into the fantastical world of the company 100 years after its first performance, exploring designers including Coco Chanel, Picasso and Robert Delauney, musicians like Stravinsky and the dancers and choreographers themselves.
