EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Lydia Lopokova, a renowned Russian ballerina who graced the stages of the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London during the 1920s. In this image, Lopokova, dressed in a stylish, modern outfit, exudes an air of youthful exuberance and jazz age glamour. She is posed playfully with one hand on her hip and a mischievous smile on her face, adding to her allure. Lopokova's dance partnership with the legendary Russian dancer and choreographer Leonide Massine began in 1918 in Russia, and they later joined the Ballets Russes company in Paris. In 1922, they brought their act to the Royal Opera House in London, where they performed to great acclaim. This period marked a significant moment in Lopokova's career, as she became a beloved figure in the London arts scene and a symbol of the vibrant, modern spirit of the 1920s. The photograph, taken in 1922, is a testament to Lopokova's charm and charisma, as well as her innovative approach to dance. Her unique style, which blended classical ballet technique with modern jazz movements, captivated audiences and helped to redefine the art form. This image is a precious reminder of Lopokova's contributions to the world of dance and her enduring legacy as a trailblazing performer.
