Note
The ballet "Vision Antique" was staged by the Ballet Company of Boris Kniaseff (1900-1975), a famous Russian dancer, who commissioned Natalia Goncharova to design the costumes for 10 ballets he planned to present at the Théâtre Marigny between 1940 and 1942. Despite the occupation of Paris by the Germans, the ballets were presented to the public.
