With inspiration from English pantomime and folk songs and sets and costumes influenced by British illustrators and caricaturists George (1792 – 1878) and Robert (1789 –1856) Cruikshank, The Triumph of Neptune was popular with London audiences. Shown is Diaghilev’s notebook with notes for revisions of Balanchine’s The Triumph of Neptune (music by Lord Berners; costumes by Pedro Pruna; choreography by George Balanchine; premiere on December 3, 1926, Lyceum Theatre, London).
