In Nikolai and the Others, Richard Nelson imagines the relationships between Balanchine and Stravinsky, their friends, lovers, wives and ex-wives, supporters, and dancers (including Maria Tallchief and Nicholas Magallanes), at the time of their historic collaboration on the ballet Orpheus. The play also explores artistic freedom and the controversial ways American art and artistic institutions were funded at the outset of the Cold War--including the subtle hand of the State Department in the post-war cultural scene. 600 10 $a Nabokov, Nicolas, $d 1903-1978 $v Drama. 600 10 $a Balanchine, George $v Drama. 600 10 $a Stravinsky, Igor, $d 1882-1971 $v Drama. 600 10 $a Koussevitzky, Serge, $d 1874-1951 $v Drama. 600 10 $a Soudeikine, Serge $v Drama. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z United States $v Drama. 650 0 $a Russians $z United States $v Drama. 610 20 $a New York City Ballet $v Drama. 700 1 $a Bishop, AndreÌ. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180125063651.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0784E9221D3311E4AFEA258CDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
