Description: The name "Leningrad Ballet" was written on the negative envelopes relating to this group of images. Wassili Wassiliew made photograph essays of many ballet companies visiting Wellington. Most of these were probably Russian and he and his wife may have had connections with the companies being in the same business themselves. Also according to ex pupil Keith McEwing Wassili 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. On at least one occasion his photographs of dancers of the Bolshoi Ballet performing in Wellington were published in an international magazine (Ballet Today, May/June 1963, pp 35-36) Quantity: 24 b&w original photographic print(s).
