Narcisse, 1911
A vehicle for Nijinsky’s brilliant dance technique, Narcisse was little performed after he left the company in 1917. (Narcisse: music by Nikolai Tcherepnin; libretto, sets, and costumes by Léon Bakst; choreography by Michel Fokine; premiere on April 26, 1911, Théâtre de Monte-Carlo, Monte Carlo.)
