Marc Chagall was a Hasidic Jew from Belarus. He painted the scenery for George Balanchine’s choreography and staging of The Firebird ballet. Balanchine’s family was Georgian. The Firebird was written by Igor Stravinsky, whose mother was from Kyiv.
The curtain for the ballet painted by Chagall features two colors prominently.
Blue and Yellow.
