    My character in petrushka is the charlatan , a not so
    very nice wizard who charms an audience watching
    Shrovetide fair celebrations in st Petersburg admiralty
    square.
    The charlatan has control of 3 puppets, petrushka, a
    wood &straw clown, a beautiful ballerina and the moor
    who are, with a tuneful spell from the charlatan and his
    magic flute, alive. The puppets leap and dance a
    Russian dance for the carnival- goers.
    A battle takes place between the weakling petrushka
    and the strong, handsome moor as they fight to try and
    win the ballerinas love, petrushka is killed.
    The mean charlatan is never free from petrushka as his
    ghost comes back to haunt him.

    Stravinsky composed the music during the winter of


    1910-11 for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. It was
    premièred in Paris at the Théâtre du Châtelet on June
    13, 1911 under conductor Pierre Monteux, with
    choreography by Mikhail Fokine and sets by Alexandre
    Benois. The title role was danced by Vaslav Nijinsky.
