Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo
Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Ballet co. formed in 1932, and orig. called Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo, in effort to continue Diaghilev's work. It was headed by Colonel Wassili de Basil and René Blum, with Fokine, Massine, and Balanchine as choreogs. Later de Basil split away from Blum and Massine and his co. disbanded in Paris in 1947, though it was revived for a year in London, 1951. The Blum-Massine co., under the name Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, went to USA at outbreak of World War II where it toured N. Amer. until disbandment in 1962.
