Catalogue Note
Diaghilev's first production of L'Oiseau de feu premiered in Paris in 1910 with designs by Bakst and Golovin. In 1922 the original scenery was ruined by rain while in storage and Diaghilev commissioned Goncharova to create a new set of designs. This version of the ballet was first performed by Diaghilev's troupe at the Lyceum Theatre in London on 25 November 1926.
