Alexandr Borodin's Polovtsian Dances as a one act ballet arranged by Michael Fokine, were staged by Diaghilev's Ballets russes in 1909 in Paris.
The premiere took place on May 18th, 1909 at Theatre du Chatelet with a scenery by Nicolas Roerich.
 
Later most of Nr 17 of Polovtsian Dances was included in "Kismet", a musical set up in 1953 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kismet_(musical) <https://mail1.coe.int/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kismet_(musical)> ). 
 
Is there any possibility of getting more details (possibly drawings or reviews) on both arrangements?
 
Thank you in advance
