In 1936 Australian audiences witnessed firsthand the spectacle of the Ballets Russes, with the arrival of the Monte Carlo Russian Ballet. This company, lead by Colonel Wassily de Basil, was one of a number of Ballets Russes companies that were formed in the wake of the dissolution of Serge Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes following his death in 1929. This first tour concluded in 1937 and was followed by two more tours by de Basil’s Ballets Russes companies, the Covent Garden Russian Ballet in 1938-1939 and Original Ballet Russe in 1939-1940.
