One of her notable performances was in the title role of 'Thamar,' a ballet choreographed by Michel Fokine with music by Mily Balakirev. The ballet was inspired by the poem "The Demon" by Mikhail Lermontov and tells the story of the beautiful and seductive Queen Thamar, who lures men to their doom. Karsavina's portrayal of Thamar was widely acclaimed for its dramatic intensity and captivating presence.
