Russian prima ballerina Anna Pavlova arriving at Central Station, Brisbane, 1926

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  With her 1926 tour of Australian cities including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide , Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, formerly principal artist of the Russian Imperial Ballet, became the first world-famous ballerina to tour Australia and around the world. Greeted by a crowd of 10,000 people on arrival by train from Melbourne, Pavlova had become well-known to world audiences for her signature role in The Dying Swan, a ballet created for her, which was of only four minutes duration. In rare public comments, she exhorted Australians to support the art she loved: “If you would like to do something in your country for my art, my Russian art, then I shall be glad to help you. I wish you happiness and prosperity. Your duty is to help your country to get these things.” The ‘Pavlova’ dessert was created in Anna Pavlova’s honour during her tour of Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s. To this day, the creation of the ‘Pavlova’ is claimed by both countries. Source www.governor.nsw.gov.au/government-house/stories/in-famou...

  This is evidently Pamela Bromley-Smith... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/231549603 - the Sun, 9th June, 1947...'Young Ballerina for Big Quest'...pic of her here... She appears with Valentin Zeglovsky in pics 2-4 of this SLNSW Max Dupain series...there aren't too many pics of her available on-line, so this Max Dupain set is particularly valuable... BobMeade did the heavy lifting on this one some years ago... Snap! www.flickr.com/photos/statelibraryofnsw/6345523499/

Borovansky ballet rehearsal, 3 April 1951

from State Library of New South Wales

  nla.gov.au/nla.obj-465003993/view - Pix, 2nd June, 1951...looks like the same ballerina appears on the cover of this issue of Pix... Just going on the note that appears on p. 5, the ballerina is Peggy Sager...who played the role of the Ballerina in Stravinsky's Petrouchka...in the SLNSW pic she's with Petrouchka, who was evidently played by Martin Rubinstein...who appears in the Pix article on p.11...
