Igor Stravinsky
Petrushka

Petrushka is a ballet by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. It was written for the 1911 Paris season of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes company

Petrushka tells the story of the loves and jealousies of three puppets. The three are brought to life by the Charlatan during the 1830 Shrovetide Fair (Maslenitsa) in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Petrushka brings music, dance, and design together in a unified whole. It is one of the most popular of the Ballets Russes productions
