Born at Kiev in 1905, Serge Lifar was not only one of the most remarkable ballet dancers of his epoch and the truly worthy successor of Nijinsky, but today he is one of the world,s outstanding choreographers and ballet directors, as well as a writer of great charm and force. At the height of the Boshevik terror, Lifar escaped from Russian and joined Diaghilev,s Ballets Russes. His description of the last days of the towering figure is extremely moving. With the end of the Balets Russes, Lifar began his long and brilliant career at the Paris Opera, where he was maitre de ballet, star dancer, and choreographer until 1939. ID#0570
