Petrushka (Template:Lang-fr; Template:Lang-ru) is a ballet set to music – composed in 1910–11 and revised in 1947 – by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky.
Petrushka is the story of a Russian traditional puppet, Petrushka, who is made of straw and with a bag of sawdust as his body, but who comes to life and develops emotions.
According to Andrew Wachtel, Petrushka is a work that fuses music, ballet, choreography and history in perfect balance. It evokes Richard Wagner's Gesamtkunstwerk (total artwork), but with a Russian approach.
