THE
IMPRESARIO

It is 1910, and Paris is at its peak: sophisticated, superior, and a fertile ground for international artists.

SEASON '17

Orchestra Wellington’s 2017 Season pays tribute to the music from this incredible time, and to a man who stamped his mark across it: Diaghilev, THE IMPRESARIO.

Diaghilev brought the best of Russian culture, the Ballets Russes, into the heady mix of cultural influences that was France before the Great War. Combining his dancers with French and Russian composers, designers and choreographers, he helped create a golden age of the arts rarely equalled since.
