Don Q Fan Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Old photo floating round on Twitter and I wonder if anyone knows who the ballerina next to The Princess of Wales in a Swan costume might be and whether or the not the lady behind is also a dancer in the red gingham frock and again if so which ballet and who is she? Was trying to determine the event possibly a gala of some sort early 90's I think? Any info appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fashionista Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 The girl in Odette costume may be a very young Agnes Oaks ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I have seen a photo in the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh of Oakes and Edur with The Princess of Wales, the dancers in Swan Lake costumes. I imagine it was taken at the Festival Theatre at a Gala there. Edited August 7, 2019 by RHowarth I'd made it out that the Princess was in a Swan Lake costume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Princess Diana also attended ENB’s Swan Lake at the Royal Albert Hall in 1997 so it could possibly be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if it's the same one (although I should do as I spent enough time staring at it when I was an usherette there!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The NEC logo on the structure suggests it may have been a gala/ concert at the National Exhibition Centre. I did a quick search and there is mention of a Prince’s Trust concert featuring dancers from the Portuguese ballet but Diana is wearing a different gown. But there may have been another gala there in other years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEC used to be quite a common brand I think. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
