Overview

The 60th birthday of the Royal New Zealand Ballet is a triumph for the vision of Poul Gnatt who, in 1953, led a troupe of dancers traveling the length and breadth of the country. This book, with more than 50 contributors—including artistic directors, dancers, and other notable characters—and more than 300 illustrations, is both a rich history and a vibrant celebration of that heroic story.
