🔥 How the visionary impresario’s revolutionary ballet company took the Paris of Pablo Picasso and Coco Chanel by storm!
🔥A wonderful , absolutely immersive read for anybody who wants to fully understand Ballet heritage.
The story of Serge Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes has been told many times before, but no one is able to master it more engagingly than Rupert Christiansen, the opera critic and self-confessed “incurable balletomane”.
He comes to his subject with a head stuffed full not just of grands jetés,but also all the gossip and scandal that trailed in Diaghilev’s life.
Everyone in early 20th-century artistic Europe was attached to Serge.
Pablo Picasso and Léon Bakst did scenery while Chanel consulted on the wardrobe. The choreographers were Michel Fokine, Léonide Massine and George Balanchine. Then there were the dancers: Vaslav Nijinsky , Anna Pavlova,etc.
The book is worth being on the bookshelves of any person who is a compulsive, avid reader
I personally fell in love with the book ❤️

" In life,you're either a winner or a loser "
A wonderful cinematic experience, although a bit one-sided, but it doesn't spoil anything!
MICHAEL ( released in April,2026) is the cinematic portrayal of the life and legacy of one of the most influential artists the world has ever known.
The film tells the story of Michael Jackson’s life beyond the music, tracing his journey from the discovery of his extraordinary talent as the lead of the Jackson Five, to the visionary artist whose creative ambition fueled a relentless pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world. Highlighting both his life off-stage and some of the most iconic performances from his early solo career, the film gives audiences a front-row seat to Michael Jackson as never before. This is where his story begins.
🔥The part of Michael Jackson in adulthood is played by his nephew Jaafar Jackson!
👇In the comments, I'll leave the pdf of poetry + essays written by Michael Jackson
With love,
Your Yulia ❤️

🌺 My outdoor reading space 🌺
Silent conversations with nature and myself are what summer time can offer.
Being absorbed in a book while surrounded by nature isn’t just relaxing; it’s life-changing. Think of outdoor reading as a refreshing infusion of fresh air into your daily routine.
It’s like a mental spa, where every page you turn helps scrub away the mental clutter left by daily stresses and an intensive scholastic year.
🌻 I'm completely sure that here in my small community there are like-minded people who also try incorporating outdoor reading into their daily routines. Summer can embrace all of us ,with books or without.
P.S. Книга Фрасуазы Саган читается с наслаждением и мы скоро обсудим ее в литературном клубе Bedlam .
Let us feel summer ☀️
The photos are from Pavlovsk,a huge gorgeous park-museum ( no airbrushing or filters )
Have a sunny week !
Love,
Yulia ❤️

🫠Bringing back fond memories.....
2 years had already seamlessly passed since we had our Book Club meeting back in 2024 and we were talking about Oscar Wilde and his short fiction. I miss our talks....
Oscar Wilde never gives you a chance to pretend. He demands clarity and direct conversations.
His prose juggles sharp but yet aristocratic humor, wit, lyrisism, love and polemic.
His symbolism could not be more explicit and it is the way only Oscar Wilde was able to do.
What I want to share here with you is a pdf worksheet created by me with care and enormous love .
Inside of it, you'll find
👉a short biography
👉the link to the documentary about life and art of Oscar Wilde
👉full guide how to lead a meaningful discussion on two short stories by Oscar Wilde ( 100% learner-friendly for the levels B2 up to C1 )
See comments 👇
P.S. Leave a + and I'll send the book to you on your email.
P.S.S. If anybody happens to be in SPB in July, let me know 😉Why not catching up and spending time together?
