EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties and the emergence of jazz culture in Europe, as evidenced by the iconic scene from George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" performed at the London Coliseum in 1928. The image features the remarkable duo of Russian-born dancers Vera Nemchinova and Anton Dolin, who brought the energy and excitement of American jazz to the London stage. The London Coliseum, a grand theatre located in the heart of the city, was a popular venue for cabaret and nightlife during the 1920s and 1930s. This photograph, taken during a performance of "Rhapsody in Blue," showcases the vibrant atmosphere and the fusion of music and dance that defined the era. Vera Nemchinova, dressed in a stunning sequined dress, gracefully executes a balletic pose, while Anton Dolin, in a dapper suit, plays the role of the energetic jazz musician. Their chemistry and skillful performance captured the imagination of audiences and solidified their status as pioneers of modern dance in Europe. The age of the 1930s, also known as the thirties or the 'Golden Age of the Theatre,' was a time of innovation and experimentation in the arts. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of the times, as jazz music and modern dance intertwined to create a new and exciting form of artistic expression. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of glamour, excitement, and cultural transformation. It serves as a testament to the enduring influence of jazz on the world stage and the groundbreaking contributions of Vera Nemchinova and Anton Dolin to the world of dance.
