"Dieu Bleu" is a ballet in one act with choreography by Michel Fokine, music by Reynaldo Hahn, and stage design by Léon Bakst. It premiered on May 13, 1912, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris by the Ballets Russes. The ballet is notable for its exotic subject matter, lavish costumes, and elaborate sets, which were a hallmark of the Ballets Russes productions and contributed significantly to the visual spectacle that was integral to the company's identity.

Léon Bakst, a Russian painter and scene and costume designer, was a central figure in the Ballets Russes and a collaborator of Sergei Diaghilev, the impresario of the company. Bakst's stage design for "Dieu Bleu" is particularly significant as it exemplifies his innovative approach to color, form, and the creation of a total artwork that unifies the visual elements with the choreography and music. His designs for "Dieu Bleu" were inspired by Hindu mythology and featured a rich palette and intricate patterns that aimed to transport the audience to an otherworldly realm.

The introduction of "Dieu Bleu" into the Ballets Russes repertoire marked a continuation of the company's fascination with orientalism and the exploration of non-Western themes, which were popular in the early 20th century among European audiences. Bakst's contribution to the production was not only in providing a visual feast but also in enhancing the narrative and emotional impact of the performance through his imaginative and evocative designs.

Bakst's stage design for "Dieu Bleu" remains an important example of his work and of the broader artistic movement of which he was a part. It reflects the synthesis of the arts and the cross-cultural influences that were characteristic of the Ballets Russes and contributed to the development of modern stage design. Despite the ballet's relatively short life in the company's repertoire, the visual legacy of Bakst's designs continues to be celebrated for their artistic innovation and influence on the visual arts and theater design.
