Keywords: Daphnis and Chloe by L. Bakst 07.jpg Costume for Daphnis and Chloe The ballet of Daphnis and Chloë was first planned by Mikhail Fokine in 1904 but not staged until 1912 It is based on a 4th-century tale by Longus The temptress Likenion tries to seduce the shepherd Daphnis but he rejects her and remains true to his lover Chloë The production period was troubled with disagreements between Diaghilev and Fokine and the ballet had to be postponed while its composer Ravel completed the complex score which required large musical resources including a choir Despite the difficulties it was well received at its opening in Paris and was revived for three performances in 1913 and taken to London in 1914 Margarita Frohman danced the role of Likenion in 1912 and this design appears to be a reworking of the costume for a different dancer in 1913 http //collections vam ac uk/item/O1157814/costume-design/ 1912 bakst PD-Art Daphnis and Chloe Bakst Theatrical costumes by Leon Bakst Files uploaded by Shakko from various sources
