EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magical moment from the finale of Swan Lake, as performed by the legendary ballet dancers, Robert Helpmann and Margot Fonteyn, at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in London, in 1946. In this iconic image, Helpmann, as Prince Siegfried, tenderly lifts Fonteyn, in the role of Odette, above his head, surrounded by the enchanting swan maidens. The ethereal beauty of Fonteyn's graceful form and Helpmann's strength and poise are on full display, as they dance in perfect harmony, lost in the spellbinding world of Swan Lake. The theatrical backdrop of the Royal Opera House adds to the enchantment of the scene, making this photograph a timeless reminder of the power and magic of ballet performance. Both Helpmann and Fonteyn were renowned for their exceptional talent and artistry, and this photograph encapsulates their unforgettable partnership on stage. This image is a must-have for any ballet or dance enthusiast, and a testament to the enduring beauty and elegance of classical dance.
