[Ballets Russes] [Nijinsky, Waslaw. (1889–1950) & Karsavina, Tamara. (1885–1978)]. 1912 Covent Garden Russian Ballet Program. Original program from a performance of the Russian Ballet (Ballet Russe) at Covent Garden on June 24, 1912. The program starred Tamar Karsavina and Nijinsky in L'Oiseau du Feu, as well as Thamar and Les Sylphides. 4 pp. One heavy vertical folding crease; otherwise in fine condition. 7.25 x 9.75 inches (18.5 x 24.5 cm).
Tamar Karsavina was perhaps most famous for creating the title role in Fokine's The Firebird with Vaslav Nijinsky, her occasional partner. (This role was originally offered to Anna Pavlova, who could not come to terms with Stravinsky's strikingly new score.)
