Le Train Bleu

This tongue-in-cheek “opérette dansée,” conceived by Jean Cocteau, was named for the fashionable train that took Parisians to their holidays on the Côte d’Azur. The fashionable costumes—including sporting gear—were designed by Gabriel (Coco) Chanel. Bronislava Nijinska’s choreography was based largely on the gestures of game and sport. Anton Dolin took the role of the athletic Beau Gosse.

Alexandra Danilova and Anton Dolin in Le Bal.

Music: Vittorio Rieti Choreographer: George Balanchine Producer: Les Ballets Russes de Serge Diaghilev Premiere: 7 May 1929, Théâtre de Monte Carlo, Monaco Costume design: Giorgio de Chirico Costumier: A. Youkine Scenery design: Giorgio de Chirico Libretto: Boris Kochno, after a novel by Count Vladimir Sollogub Main characters: The Lady, the Young Man, the Astrologer, the Sylphides, the Italian guests, the Spanish guests, the Statue

A young man, dressed as a military officer, attends a masked ball where he meets a beautiful masked lady accompanied by an old astrologer, and falls in love with her, even as she flirts with his rival, a young Italian man. While overseen by the ballroom’s giant classical statue, which is possessed of magical powers, the sylphides mischievously dress to imitate the couple in order to confuse their suitors. The young man finally persuades the lady to remove her mask and is dismayed to see her as an old woman. He tries to leave but she pursues him, and as the ball ends the old woman leaves on the arm of the astrologer. As she passes the young officer she and the astrologer both remove further masks, revealing them as a beautiful young couple. Attempting to follow them, the dazed young officer is held back by the statue to contemplate his behavior.
