Robert Helpmann and Margot Fonteyn, Facade / Anthony

Anthony, Gordon, 1902-1989

 

"Legendary partnering in ballet - Helpmann was Fonteyn's first partner. Beginning in 1933, the pair danced together for the last time at the Covent Garden celebration for Fonteyn's 65th birthday - more than 40 years later." -- Vendor's note.

"Facade was danced by Helpmann and Fonteyn many, many times. It was the selection of Fonteyn when they danced for the last time at the Covent Garden celebration of Fonteyn's 65th birthday." -- Vendor's note.
