Later, in 1944, Khachaturian extracted five movements to make a symphonic suite. Tutyshkin continued successful performances of Masquerade while in evacuation in Siberia. On 23 July 1941 German air-bombing completely destroyed the Vakhtangov Theatre, killing many actors and personnel, and destroying the elaborate stage decorations. On the following day Germany invaded the Soviet Union and its production run was cut short. Masquerade premiered on 21 June 1941 in the Vakhtangov Theatre in Moscow, directed by Andrei Tutyshkin and starring Iosif Tolchanov as Arbenin and Alla Kazanskaya as Nina. The rest of the waltz came to me easily, with no trouble at all.' Khachaturian dedicated the waltz to the actress who played Nina, Alla Kazanskaya.

The famous waltz theme in particular gave Khachaturian much trouble in its creation: moved by the words of the play's heroine, Nina – 'How beautiful the new waltz is! . Khachaturian was asked to write music for a production of Masquerade being produced by the director Ruben Simonov. The music is better known in the form of a five-movement suite. Masquerade was written in 1941 by Aram Khachaturian as incidental music for a production of the play of the same name by Russian poet and playwright Mikhail Lermontov.
