for the love of ballet

For World Ballet Day today I thought I would share these photos that I took fifty years ago during rehearsal at the Royal Opera House, Covenant Garden. Happily the negatives are as pristine today as they were all those years ago when I took the film from my trusty Pentax Spotmatic SLR and headed for the dark room.

I posted the first photo in 2015 under the title Peeping Beauty.

Stunning images, Andrew. You captured the feeling of movement and grace beautifully. Spending time in the darkroom was fun, wasn’t it?
