Tin Eye found me this version, which has a caption in... Russian? Something related? I can't tell.
Also you can see the wired veil better.

The Blue Bird (sinyaya ptitsa) is a song, operatic, I think, or possibly an opera. play by Maurice Maeterlinck.

She looks like an early opera singer or movie queen to me.

Mock. is probably Moscow

Teatpb is probably theatre

and to add to what everyone said, she is playing a Fairy.

[metageek]

Oh, yeah, now I can see the wings.

[tpau]

and the magic wand. the fairy in blue Bird always had a magic wand, in the several shows of it i have seen. though all in Russia :)

There are no wings. There's a wired veil, which looks a bit like white antennae, but if you look hard, there's a veil hanging from them.

There's a particular picture from the Devonshire hunting tapestries that has wired veils like this, but it looks like I don't have it webbed.
