EDITORS COMMENTS
Constant Lambert: Visionary Musical Director of The Vic-Wells Ballet in the 1930s This evocative sepia photograph captures Constant Lambert in his role as musical director for The Vic-Wells Ballet in 1937. Born in London in 1905, Lambert was a prodigious English composer, conductor, and pianist, who made significant contributions to the world of classical music and ballet. In the image, Lambert, dressed in formal attire, stands confidently with his arms crossed, gazing intently at the dancers on stage. The Vic-Wells Ballet, founded by the visionary choreographer and impresario, Ninette de Valois, was a trailblazing company that sought to challenge the traditional boundaries of ballet. With its innovative repertoire and commitment to nurturing young talent, the company quickly gained a reputation as a leading force in the dance world. Lambert's collaboration with The Vic-Wells Ballet began in 1935, and he went on to compose some of his most famous works for the company, including the ballets "Horoscope" and "The Rite of Spring." His innovative approach to music and dance fusion helped to redefine the role of music in ballet, and his collaborations with de Valois and the dancers of The Vic-Wells Ballet were instrumental in shaping the company's unique identity. This photograph, taken in December 1937, captures a moment in time when Constant Lambert was at the height of his creative powers, and The Vic-Wells Ballet was at the forefront of the dance world. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of these visionary artists, whose groundbreaking work continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
