A few days ago, Vaganova Ballet Academy posted an excerpt from Vladimir Teliakovski’s (Director of the Imperial Theatres) diary entry, concerning the ballet “Armida's Pavilion”. I found it very interesting and amusing but didn’t have the time to translate and post it until now. I’ve also added a few more images of Anna Pavlova and Vaslav Nijinsky wearing the costumes in question.

Nov 7, 1907:

“Today, from four to six, I was present at the examination of Benois’s costumes for the ballet “Armida”. The costumes are true and stylish, but ugly, and they all carry some vague erotic overtones. Besides, the ballet is so expensive that had I known about the cost, I never would have agreed to stage such a ballet.”

The ballet premiered on the 25th of November, 1907. It was choreographed by Mikhail Fokine to the music of Nikolai Tcherepnin. The costumes were designed by Alexandre Benois.

Benois selected strongly contrasting colours of black and orange with details of white, to create this dramatic costume for a musician. The studs, which define the pleats of the skirt, are echoed in the round beads on the bodice. The white edging and studs would have sparkled in the stage lights:

“Armida's Pavilion” was the first production of Diaghilev's company. During the ballet, twelve spirits perform the “Dance of the hours”, representing the passing of time. Their costumes were made from inexpensive cotton and embellished with gold lamé, braid, fringing and paint to create an impression of luxury and refinement typical of the Rococo period of the ballet:
