EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the young and promising Australian ballet dancer, Robert Helpmann (1909-1986), in the role of "A Young Man" during a performance of "Nocturne" at the Sadler's Wells Theatre in London, October 1936. Helpmann, dressed in a fitted white shirt and trousers, exudes an air of youthful intensity and grace as he strikes a pose amidst the dimly lit stage. The iconic image, taken during the 1930s, showcases Helpmann's exceptional talent and charisma, which would later earn him international acclaim and a successful career as a dancer, choreographer, and actor. The photograph is a testament to the captivating artistry of the ballet world during this era and the enduring appeal of Delius' evocative music, which provided the backdrop for this mesmerizing performance. Helpmann's collaboration with the legendary ballerina Margot Fonteyn, who is not featured in this photograph, would become a defining partnership in the world of ballet. Together, they would create unforgettable performances that continue to inspire and captivate audiences to this day. This photograph stands as a timeless reminder of the beauty and power of dance, and the extraordinary talents of one of its most celebrated figures.
