London: Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1981. a near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a little age toning to page edges) with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. A large format volume of 245 photographs and illustrations. The authors sought not to present a history of the theatre and its productions, an enterprise which would require a series of substantial volumes, but an evocation of its past and present. They have chosen to use, for the most part, visual images rather than the written word, partly because they are more immediate, but partly because they wished to portray the theatre by means of a family album. The pages show some of the great artists who have appeared there, the landmarks of its history, and to indicate something of the role it has come to assume both in the culture of the nation and internationally.

Gillian Lynne is one of the world's pre-eminent choreographers, the groundbreaking creative force behind blockbusters such as Cats and The Phantom of the Opera.

Description:
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1995. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine price clipped dustjacket. xiv + 370 pages. 51 illustrations. Alicia Markova is a dancing legend. Her story is a dream come true, but not one realised without much hardship, dedication and sacrifice - as this first major biography reveals. Born Lilian Alicia Marks in London in 1910, she started her career at the age of ten in Dick Whittington in Kennington. Artistically it was about as far removed fro the worlds great opera houses as you can get. Such was her genius, however, that despite her lack of experience in ballet, she was snapped up aged 14 by the world-famous impresario Serge Diaghileff for his acclaimed Ballet Russe. It was the beginning of an exciting, though often lonely, period. Markova, as she now was, danced all over Europe, introducing new works by Balanchine and Massine. Stravinsky was her music teacher and Matisse her designer. Nurtured and groomed by Diaghileff, she was plunged into despair by… Read More
