EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a member of the Corps de Ballet from the production of "Bontique Fantasque," part of Sergei Diaghilev's groundbreaking 1926 ballet season at His Majesty's Theatre in London, exudes an air of jazz age glamour. The image, taken during the Roaring Twenties, captures the essence of the era's vibrant nightlife and entertainment scene. The dancer, dressed in a stunning costume adorned with intricate beadwork and sequins, poses gracefully on the edge of the stage. Her expressive face, framed by a chic bob hairstyle, is a picture of concentration and poise. The backdrop of the dimly lit theatre, with its ornate gold trim and red velvet curtains, adds to the allure of the moment. Bontique Fantasque was a landmark production in Diaghilev's Ballets Russes repertoire, known for its fusion of traditional Russian ballet techniques with the latest jazz and modern dance trends. The production was a sensation, drawing crowds of London's elite and fashionable set. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the ballet world during the 1920s, a time when art and entertainment intersected in unexpected and thrilling ways. The image invites us to imagine the excitement and glamour of a bygone era, where the stage came alive with the magic of dance and the allure of the unknown.
