Russian dancer Tamara Karsavina, for many years a Hampstead
resident, was a leading star of Diaghilevs Ballets
Russes company, famously created the role in
Stravinskys Firebird and was frequently partnered by
the great Vaslav Nijinsky. This photographic exhibition, at
the former home of her contemporary and rival Anna Pavlova,
tells the story of her career at the Russian Imperial
Ballet, her solo tours, and her pioneering work with the
Ballets Russes.
