Photographs of the Leningrad Ballet, the Bolshoi Ballet on its 1962 tour, and a Mexican dance company performing in Wellington. Photographed by Wassili Wassiliew in the 1960s.
According to one of Galina Wassiliewa's ex students, Keith McEwing, Wassili Wassiliew knew the Edgleys of the Australian theatre entrepreneur partnership, Edgley and Dawe who toured these companies through Australia and New Zealand. As a result he was able to get into the theatre wings and photograph the dancers in rehersal and during performances. Some of his photographs of the Bolshoi's 1962 performances in Wellington were published in "Ballet Today" a British based magazine (May/June 1963, pp 35-36).
