- Biography (note)
- The ballet Revenge (choreography, Ruth Page; music, Giuseppe Verdi) was an adaptation of Verdi's opera Il trovatore. Nicolas Remisoff, Page's longtime collaborator, designed the costumes for the ballet's original production, given as a work-in-progress by the Page-Stone-Camryn Ballet in Chicago in Jan. 1951. These set designs were probably created at the same time but according to Claudia Cassidy, critic of the Chicago Daily Tribune, they "never reached the makeshift stage of Mandel hall," where the performance was held. Antoni Clavé designed the sets and costumes for the final version of the ballet, presented in Paris by the Ballets des Champs-Elysées in Oct. 1951 under the title Revanche.
