lollylamb1 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Does any one have or happen to know where there could be a copy of Derek Deane’s premiere of Swan Lake (ENB) at the Royal Albert Hall in 1997. My friend, who was a student at Elmhurst at the time performed in each performance and has not seen a recording of the production since then and would very much like to do so. If anyone has any suggestions please share! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hello, lollylamb1. My guess is that you'll be disappointed: as far as I know, there aren't any recordings in existence. There might be some archive news footage or something, given what a new undertaking it was at the time, but I can't imagine there'd be anything more. Surely the archive "department" at ENB would be the place to approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Q Fan Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 The late Diana, Princess of Wales attended the premiere as ENB Patron. There are photos of her meeting ENB officials and some of the cast on the night but also there was a portrait taken of her in a lilac suit with folded arms standing surrounded by the swans - maybe your friend is in that photograph?

lollylamb1 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Thank you both, I spoke to ENB archivist today who agreed that it would be very unlikely that there is a recording available, but will double check. I think there is a news-clip, will have to find out on which channel this was broadcast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Wasn`t it shown on Sky Arts several times? I got the impression it was recorded,although I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Q Fan Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I think there was some of the In The round in the 3 part documentary about ENB but that as more recent than June 1997. There is clip of the Princess arriving at the premiere on itnsource.com but not a ballerina in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
