The theatre's iconic marquee, adorned with the words "Russian Ballet," beckons to the throngs of eager theatre-goers, their anticipation palpable in the crisp, winter air. The twinkling lights of the theatre's facade, reflecting off the wet cobblestones, add an air of magic and mystery to the scene. The 1920s were a golden era for the arts, and the Empire Theatre was a hub for the best of the best in the world of ballet. The Russian ballet companies of the time, known for their technical prowess and artistic innovation, brought a new level of excitement and sophistication to London's theatre scene.
