Glinka’s “Capriccio on the Jota Aragonesa” formed the basis of Michel Fokine’s ballet, “Jota Aragonesa” a revival of that which he had first produced back on the 29th of January 1916 at the Maryinsky Theatre in Petrograd, here using sets and costumes by the Russian designer, Alexandr Golovin (1863 – 1930).
René Blum had chosen Mariano Andreu to design the sets and costumes for this ballet in 1936.
