I have one from the Empress Hall in Earls Court but it's from 1949 so probably not much help for you? In fact, I'm not even sure their company was officially Markova-Dolin by then. This programme is 'Alicia Markova, Anton Dolin, with full corps de ballet'.  

Hi all,

Thanks so much for your information and suggestions! Amelia, thanks also for your correction on Theatre Street/Rossi Street. The period I'm researching is around the time (I believe 1923?) it changed its name but of course you're quite right that I'm out of date referring to it by its original name!

Thanks again,

Rebecca

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help with some research (about a ballet school, but its history and architecture, so not really appropriate for 'Doing Dance'). I've been trying to find images of the Bolshoi ballet school in Moscow but can only find photos of a Soviet-era building in the Frunzenskaya district. I can't find any information about when that building was erected, or where the school was and what it looked like in pre-revolutionary times. I'd also be interested to know whether, in the past, the Bolshoi company rehearsed in the old school building (as the imperial ballet rehearsed on Theatre Street in Petersburg). Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
