herazade" is a remarkable example of set and costume design by Léon Samoilov Bakst, a Russian painter and designer who achieved international fame for his work the Ballets Russes. Bakst designed the set and costumes for the Ballets Russes' premiere of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's ballet "Sheherazade" in 1910.

Influenced by his fascination with oriental art and culture, Bakst's work for "Sheherazade" is highly stylized, characterized by vivid colours, luxurious materials, and a keen attention to detail. His creations transformed the stage into a dazzling world of a lush, sensual harem, brilliantly reflecting the exotic setting of the ballet's plot. Notably, his designs have been influential in shaping Western perceptions of the so-called Orient.

For the character design, each costume meticulously depicted an individual character's identity and role, adding depth to the characters portrayed by the dancers. The rich textures, ornate decorations, and detailed embroidery were unprecedented at that time in the world of ballet costume design.

"Sheherazade" is a testament to Bakst's pioneering approach in the art of theatrical design, laying essential groundwork for much of the visual spectacle associated with contemporary productions. His designs were instrumental in bringing about a renaissance in theatrical design, positioning it as a major component of a performance, rather than a mere backdrop or afterthought. This sets Bakst and his provocative artistry apart in theatre history.
