Dame Beryl Grey Prima Ballerina Autographed 8″ x 10″ B/W Photograph Dame Beryl Grey CH DBE (1927 – 2022) At the age of just 15, Dame Beryl made her stage debut as Odette / Odile in Swan Lake having joined Sadler’s Wells Ballet (now The Royal Ballet) in 1941. She went on to dance many leading roles throughout her extraordinary career, including on eminent stages around the world. She was the first British dancer to guest with the Bolshoi Ballet, Kirov Ballet (1957 – 1958), and Peking Ballet (1964). In 1957, Dame Beryl made her first appearance as Guest Artist with London Festival Ballet, as English National Ballet was then known. Among the works she performed with the Company was Reverie, in a solo especially created for her. Dame Beryl Grey – 1958 From 1968 – 1979, she took up the role of London Festival Ballet’s Artistic Director, setting a new standard and ambition for the Company. During her tenure, the Company performed both nationally and internationally as she as she introduced new works to the repertoire. This included inviting Rudolf Nureyev to create Romeo & Juliet in 1977 – a production still in the Company’s repertoire and last performed in 2017 on its 40th anniversary. In 1988, she was awarded a DBE becoming Dame Beryl Grey, having already been honoured with a CBE in 1973. In 2017, she was appointed Member of the Order of the Companions of Honour for her services to dance. Dame Beryl became President of English National Ballet in 2005, further building on her already considerable contribution to the Company. Alongside her role as ENB’s President, she was also Life President of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), President of the British Ballet Organisation, Vice-President of the Royal Academy of Dance, Music Therapy Charity and British and International Federation of Festivals. She was Chairman of the Royal Ballet Benevolent Fund, Patron of the Critics’ Circle National Dance Awards, and held five honorary degrees. When English National Ballet moved into its new purpose-built home, the Mulryan Centre for Dance, a studio was named in Dame Beryl’s honour. Swan Lake was a ballet especially close to her heart. We will be dedicating our upcoming performances of Derek Deane’s Swan Lake at the London Coliseum to Dame Beryl, in recognition of all she did to enrich the Company Dame Beryl Elizabeth Grey CH DBE FRSA (née Groom; 11 June 1927 – 10 December 2022) was a British ballet dancer. Dame Beryl Grey Born Beryl Elizabeth Groom 11 June 1927 Highgate, London, England Died 10 December 2022 (aged 95) Occupation(s) Ballet dancer, ballerina Spouse Dr. Sven Gustav Svenson (1950⁠–⁠2008) Children 1 In August 1941, she was taken into the company at the age of fourteen and joined them during a provincial tour, at Burnley. Her first appearance with the company was in the corps de ballet of Le Lac des Cygnes. She progressed through the company at a steady rate. Her first solo role was as one of the Blue Skaters in Frederick Ashton's Les Patineurs. Her first lead role was as the Serving Maid in The Gods Go A-Begging “with a charm and style remarkable for a child of fourteen and a half”. On her fifteenth birthday, Dame Ninette de Valois gave her an inscribed copy of Gordon Anthony's book on Dame Margot Fonteyn and the opportunity of dancing Odette-Odile in the full-length Le Lac des Cygnes. In 1942, Robert Helpmann created the first role for her in his second ballet The Birds where she was The Nightingale. In April 1943, she created her first dramatic role as Duessa in Ashton's ballet, The Quest, which was based on Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene. On 1 March 1944, she first portrayed the main role of Giselle in Derby. She then performed the role in London for the first time on her seventeenth birthday. Grey is also known for her interpretation of Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis, which she first performed in 1946. She first performed the role of Princess Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty on 20 June 1946 at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. She was invited to screentest for the part of the French Princess in Laurence Olivier's 1944 film Henry V, who had been introduced to Grey by Helpmann. However when de Valois heard, she put an end to it. From 1957 until the mid-1960s, Grey was an international guest ballerina across Europe, South America, Australasia, the Far East, the United States and Canada. In 1957, she became the first English dancer to appear as a guest ballerina with the Kirov and Bolshoi Ballet. Grey was the first Western guest artist to dance with the Bolshoi Ballet (1957–1958), and to appear with the Peking Ballet and Shanghai Company (with a Chinese partner) in 1964. She was the subject of This Is Your Life in April 1974 when she was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the London Festival Ballet's Donmar rehearsal studios in London's Covent Garden.
