In this talk Mr. Haskell reviews the present season at Covent Garden, bearing in mind such factors as the work of De Basil before the war, and the extent to which outside influences. particularly Americanisation, have affected the Russian tradition.
Mr. Haskell holds the opinion that this present season will largely decide the future of Russian ballet, and that its survival depends on a long residence in Europe in contact with the musicians and painters of France
