This is very confusing. I reordered sections to make the part on the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo more clear. --Parkwells (talk) 19:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to come up with a sub-category (similar to Ballet companies in Canada, in the US, etc.) for Ballets Russes and Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo -- and perhaps any other "legacy" companies as the computer people would call them -- but genuinely cannot come up with a name that sounds right for ballet. Ideas? Robert Greer (talk) 22:34, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is not just a matter of different spellings, but of different companies - certainly if The Oxford Dictionary of Dance is to be believed: Colonel de Basil's company was the Ballets Russes de Monte-Carlo, founded in 1932; and Leonide Massine, who had a falling out with the Colonel, founded the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, which had its opening season in 1938. At the moment the two appear to be confused in this one article (which, confusing things further, takes the name of Massine's company). Therefore we really need a separate article for each of them.

In the intro, there's the year of 1938 and it states that the ballet "disbanded some 20 later."

This would make the closure of the ballet in 1958.

Yet, the Infobox and the end of the "History" section both state 1968 - - - a ten year, or decade, difference.

So, which is the end date --- 1958 or 1968 ?

Or, am I missing something? 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 23:59, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
