Tours to Australia and New Zealand during the 1930s by de Basil's Ballets Russes mark a watershed in the cultural life of the two nations. Local artists rejoiced in the opportunity to learn about European high art firsthand, while audiences and the public were jolted from the conservatism that shrouded the post-Depression Antipodes.
