EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the magic of a bygone era in the world of classical ballet, featuring the legendary partnership of Margot Fonteyn and Robert Helpmann on stage at Sadler's Wells Theatre in London during a production of Giselle in 1937. The image freezes a moment in time as the charismatic dancers, both in their prime, seamlessly blend grace and drama in this iconic performance. Margot Fonteyn, born in Reigate, Surrey, in 1919, was one of the most celebrated British ballerinas of the 20th century. Her ethereal beauty, extraordinary technique, and captivating stage presence earned her an unparalleled reputation. Robert Helpmann, born in Mount Gambier, Australia, in 1909, was a versatile dancer, choreographer, and actor. His dynamic stage presence and innovative choreography complemented Fonteyn's artistry, making them an unforgettable duo. The atmospheric setting of Sadler's Wells, with its dimly lit stage and the shadows of the wings, adds to the enchanting ambiance of this photograph. The image, taken by the renowned aviation photographer Gilbert Adams, captures the dancers in the midst of a mesmerizing performance, their bodies poised in perfect harmony as they bring the story of Giselle to life. Giselle, a romantic ballet in three acts, tells the tragic tale of a peasant girl who dies of a broken heart when she discovers her lover's betrayal. The ballet's iconic pas de deux, where Fonteyn and Helpmann dance together, is a testament to their unmatched artistry and the depth of their connection. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the extraordinary partnership between Fonteyn and Helpmann and the timeless beauty of classical ballet.
