EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the magical moment when legendary British ballerina Margot Fonteyn and her partner Robert Helpmann gracefully perform in the Spring 1941 production of Schubert's "The Wanderer" at Sadler's Wells Theatre in London. Choreographed by the visionary Frederick Ashton, this groundbreaking ballet marked a pivotal moment in the history of dance. Fonteyn, a shining star of the Sadler's Wells Ballet Company, embodies the ethereal beauty and grace of the female lead, while Helpmann, an exceptional Australian dancer, brings to life the enigmatic and brooding male character. Their captivating performance is further enhanced by Graham Sutherland's innovative set designs, which add depth and emotion to the production. The Wanderer, originally composed by Schubert as a piano solo, was transformed into a captivating ballet by Ashton, who expertly translated the music's emotional depth and intricacy into mesmerizing dance movements. This photograph serves as a testament to the extraordinary collaboration between these artistic visionaries and their ability to transport audiences to new realms of imagination and emotion. Fonteyn and Helpmann's unforgettable partnership in The Wanderer solidified their status as two of the most influential figures in the world of dance. Their collaboration with Ashton and Sutherland resulted in a production that continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
