Francesco Gabriele Frola and ENB dancers rehearse Études Photo Laurent Liotardo
Besides the super photographs from the company’s 70th Anniversary Gala, English National Ballet has released a selection of pictures taken at rehearsal and then backstage during the big evening itself. The backstage ones in particular are quite atmospheric, and show a side of ballet rarely glimpsed by audiences.
