EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Russian ballet impresario Colonel Wassily de Basil (1903-1951) is seen arriving in England aboard the luxurious ocean liner, Normandie, in 1937. Accompanied by several of his esteemed dancers, the group includes David Lichine, Irina Baronova, Tatiana Riabouchinska, Olga Morosova, and Tamara Gregorieva. The Normandie, a symbol of opulence and elegance, was the largest ocean liner in the world at the time, making this voyage a grand and glamorous event. Colonel de Basil, a visionary figure in the world of ballet, had established his own company, Ballets Russes de Monte-Carlo, in 1933. This company was a fusion of Russian and Western dance traditions, and it quickly gained international acclaim for its innovative productions and exceptional talent. The arrival of de Basil and his dancers in England marked the beginning of a new chapter for the company, as they were set to perform a series of groundbreaking productions in London's West End. The photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of this momentous occasion. The dancers, dressed in elegant costumes and looking radiant, are seen posing on the deck of the Normandie, with the vast ocean stretching out behind them. Colonel de Basil, a distinguished figure in his military uniform, stands proudly among his dancers, basking in the limelight and the promise of a successful tour. This image is a testament to the allure and magic of the world of ballet, as well as the thrill of international travel in the 1930s.
