The Flames of Paris

The Flames of Paris is a ballet composed by Boris Asafiev, a significant figure in early Soviet choreographic music. The work remains poorly documented in Stage Door Society's current database, with minimal metadata available—a condition that reflects either the work's relative obscurity in Western repertoire or a gap in our archival coverage. Asafiev's ballets occupy an important but understudied position in dance history, bridging Russian Imperial traditions with Soviet-era aesthetics. Without premiere information, production history, or synopsis currently in our system, this work warrants immediate enrichment.
