狄亚基列夫在1929年去世,芭蕾舞团欠下大量债务,加上大萧条爆发,舞团解散。1931年瓦西里·德·巴兹尔(Wassily de Basil)和雷内·布鲁姆(René Blum,蒙特卡洛歌剧院的芭蕾指导)成立了蒙特卡洛俄罗斯芭蕾舞团(Ballets Russes de Monte-Carlo,后来的Ballet Russe de Monte-Carlo),1932年首演[3]。两人后来产生矛盾,巴兹尔自己又创办了巴兹尔上校俄罗斯芭蕾舞团(Ballets Russes de Colonel W. de Basil,后来的Original Ballet Russe)[4]。两家舞团分别在1968年和1947年倒闭。
