A new exhibit of library materials featuring Stravinsky's ballet Petrushka was mounted in the Music Library today. The ballet was premiered on June 13, 1911 by Sergey Diaghilev's ballet company, Ballets Russes, in Paris. The ballet depicts a Russian folk tale about puppets and puppeteers.
Please come to the Music Library to see the exhibit. The Music Library holds several editions of the score of the original 1911 version of the ballet, as well as many recordings. You can also connect to Naxos Music Library (either from on campus or via off-campus authentication, if you are affiliated with NIU) to listen to recordings of Petrushka.
