Summary
| Description |
On June 30 1953 the company that became New Zealand Ballet performed for the first time in Auckland. New Zealand ballet was set up by Poul Gnatt, Beryl Nettleton, Bettina Edwards, female dancer, and pianist Dorothea Franchi. The premiere performance of the New Zealand Ballet was at the Playhouse Theatre (later Mercury) in Auckland on 30 June 1953. Within two months of this premiere Gnatt set off with the company of 26 dancers on the very first national tour, which set the standard and frequency of New Zealand Ballet tours to this day. In 1984 Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II as Queen of New Zealand granted the title Royal to the company making it the fourth ballet company to receive this honour, along with The Royal Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet and Royal Winnipeg Ballet. This image shown here is of NZ Ballet performing Petrouchka, in Wellington in 1967. The image was taken by the National Publicity Studios. The purpose of the National Publicity Studios was to provide advice to government departments and state agencies on the provision of photographic, art, and display services and in particular to assist in the production of publicity material aimed at conveying a favourable image of New Zealand. The National Publicity Studios was divided into two main sections: Photographic - comprising photographers, a laboratory, a photo library and facilities for audio-visual productions & Art - comprising graphic art, display art, display workshops and silkscreen.
