The sweet melancholy of a poem becomes music and dance. The music of Carl Maria von Weber (Aufforderung zum Tanz, with orchestration by Hector Berlioz) and choreographed by Mikhail Fokine are masterfully represented in a scene from the Great Nijinsky and Tamara Karsavina. We are in 1911, in Paris at the Théâtre du Châtelet, for the first, exactly on June 6.
