Performance "Petrushka" was staged in 1911. This ballet was created by the very idea of Benoit and written them the same libretto. Premiered on June 13, 1911 at the Paris Theatre du Chatelet.
Production resumed in 1948 (April 7) at the Paris Grand Opera, where he hung this curtain with devils. Do not be distracted, look at the root of the problem.
December 12, 2009 at the Grand Opera House held 158-I representation, to the centennial of Russian ballet of Diaghilev, which I visited and saw this curtain. So this is now true: the devil fly over the city.
Alexander Benois wrote: "Everything flows, everything changes, everything must change, everything can not be changed. But through all the changes in the human artistic creation is a life-giving stream - the one that gives it the character of authenticity - it is sincerity. The real joy is obtained the knowledge that works, whether plastic images (including performance), whether musical sounds, whether of thought and expression, consistent with some inner prompting, or what is called inspiration.
