Brahms Variations Costumes
Hungarian-born Marcel Vertès was perhaps best known for his fashion illustrations, but he also worked extensively in theater, principally in ballet for, among other companies, the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo. For that company he created costume designs for Bronislava Nijinska's (1891–1972) Brahms Variations, performed at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York and later on tour. Vertès also worked for Boris Kochno's Paris Ballet in the 1940s and designed at least two productions for the Broadway stage: the musical Seventh Heaven (1955) and the revue La Plume de Ma Tante (1956). |
