Background
Irina Baronova, born in Petrograd, was one of the three legendary "baby ballerinas" engaged by George Balanchine for the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo. She continued to dance with the de Basil Ballets Russes companies until 1939, coming to Australia on tour with the Covent Garden Russian Ballet in 1938-1939. Baronova left de Basil in 1939 and soon after began a new stage of her career in the United States. Baronova lived the last eight years of her life in Australia, in the hinterland of Byron Bay, where she completed her memoirs which were published in 2005 as Irina: ballet, life and love.
