EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Harold Turner in the prime of his ballet career as he gracefully performs the role of the Nutcracker Prince in The Vic-Wells Ballet's production of Casse Noisette (The Nutcracker) in 1937. Turner's elegant form and expressive facial features bring the magical character to life, transporting audiences to a world of enchantment and wonder. The Vic-Wells Ballet, founded by Ninette de Valois in 1931, was one of the most prominent ballet companies in the UK during the 1930s. This supplement to The Dancing Times, published in December of that year, showcases Turner's exceptional talent and artistry, which earned him critical acclaim and admiration from both audiences and fellow dancers. Turner's career began in 1929 when he joined the Sadler's Wells Ballet School, and he quickly rose through the ranks to become a principal dancer with the company. His versatility and technical prowess allowed him to excel in various roles, from romantic leads to character parts. Turner's performance as the Nutcracker Prince in Casse Noisette was particularly noteworthy, as it showcased his ability to convey both strength and tenderness, making him an ideal choice for the role. This photograph, taken during the 1937 production, offers a glimpse into the rich history of British ballet during the 1930s and the remarkable talent of Harold Turner, a dancer whose artistry continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
