A ballet by Salvador Dali and Roland Petit. Willy Rizzo.
Edition of 8. Silver gelatine print in a Willy Rizzo designed and made frame.
'Gala was a collaboration between Maurice Bejart, choreographer and Salvador Dali, whose wife lends her name to the title of the production. Dali wrote the story and designed sets and costumes for the ballet which premiered at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, 1961. We see him here silhouetted against the clock in the background. This was Tcherina's last new dancing role after a long and illustrious career dancing with Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo, Les Ballets des Champs Elysees and appearing often with the Paris Opera, the Bolshoi Ballet and the Kirov Ballet as a guest performer.'
