Ballets created for the Ballets Russes, the touring company founded by Sergei Diaghilev in Paris, which brought together the leading composers, painters and choreographers of its time. The group includes the cubist ballet Parade, with a scenario by Jean Cocteau and music by Erik Satie, and the village wedding ballet Les Noces, with music by Igor Stravinsky, both of which changed the course of twentieth century ballet.

Les noces was completed in 1917 but was then subjected to a series of changes of heart by Stravinsky regarding its scoring; he settled on the above forces only in 1923, in time for the premiere in Paris on 13 June that year under conductor Ernest Ansermet and danced by the Ballets Russes to choreography by Bronislava Nijinska.
