Hello Aklf,

The Full version is available to watch on Youtube.

In Russian but English subtitles are available.

If you have a Premium Youtube membership you will be able to download.

Well done both !!

I remember Hope when she was a Dancer with English National Ballet.

Congratulations to Hope for becoming Artistic Director !

Thank you Jeannette . No problem.

It is interesting to read her website.

Yes quite a variety of photos displayed there .

I was only trying to be helpful so felt that was a bit harsh.

Your screen resolution is obviously higher than mine.

Glad she has been identified but i have a fair few theatrical photos of that era so thought she was of it too.

1940's

Good likeness there but by the look of the photo it to me looks like it was taken in the 1949's

Thinking on memory alone if this is a Singer she would remind me of Maria Callas or another possibility -Kathleen Ferrier

That was on both Google and Bing.

Yes viewing this in daylight that is an evening gown not a leotard.

I think i can make out " Marttella" as the name.

I have done a reverse search on this image but no results unfortunately .

I have enjoyed a bit of nostalgia looking at your photographs Steve.

What a nice collection you have purchased !

I will keep on trying to identify the lady in a leotard for you.

Will be interesting to take a look at the autographs you need identifying if you load them too .

I think the lady sat in the Stage door office is actually Makarova.

I was wondering if it was she in the white jumpsuit .

Not quite sure if it is her signing autographs with the colourful headscarf though.

The chap with the bobble hat and red scarf reminds me of a young Anthony Dowell.

Possibly a guest artist though .

The lady sat with the coloured headscarf signing a photo looks like it was taken in the Stage Door office at Covent Garden so i presume a member of the Royal Ballet .

The man in the dark suit reminds me most of a young Donald Mcleary.

Lady in grey raincoat :

Natalia Makarova

Last photo :

Mikhail Barashnikov

I will have to think about those remaining.

Good news and thank you for posting this Janet.

Like you Janet i was a tad surprised to see all tickets available with no social distancing.

Much though i would like to see this production i feel it is a somewhat optimistic time frame assuming we will be sufficiently advanced in our experience of Covid by then.

Very pleasant if this was an option by then though.

Puffin is downloadable for Windows Alison.

Opera also.

I like Puffin which i find is fast loading and reliable.

I have also used Opera and been satisfied with that too.

I have seen Jane in numerous productions over the years and enjoyed her performances.

Also her approachable input into the various Friends' activities.

I wish her well in her future endeavours. 

Chiropractic near to me has been open a couple of weeks - with full PPE.

A very talented Lady.

Rest in peace Dame Vera.🥀
