"Aurora's Wedding" with Genevieve Moulin and David Lichine in the Bluebird pas de deux.

    Geneviève Moulin (b.1921) was a French ballerina who performed with the Original Ballet Russe. She also used the Russian stage name of Lubov Zlatina. [1] "David Lichine (1910-1972) was a Russian-American ballet dancer and choreographer. In the re-formation of Russian ballet companies after the death of Serge Diaghilev, Lichine became a charter member of Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo, founded in January 1932 by Colonel Wassily de Basil, René Blum, and Serge Grigoriev. As a principal dancer, Lichine stayed with de Basil's company from its inception until 1941, headlining the company through all its subsequent renamings, which finally ended as Original Ballet Russe in 1939. "He had an international career as a performer, ballet master, and choreographer, staging works for many ballet companies and for several Hollywood film studios."[2] Oddly, with many available references to performances of Aurora's Wedding by the three different Ballets Russes companies touring Australia between 1936-1940, I've not found any mention of either Geneviève Moulin or David Lichine performing the Bluebird pas de deux.
