Sara Kennel, "Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes" curator, said: “I think this exhibition is an extraordinary opportunity to look at the history of modern art and dance and see how the concentration of music, design and dance originated in the Russian ballet. We are very grateful to Rosneft and ExxonMobil for supporting this project”.
