AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When world-famous ballerina Anna Pavlova came to Australia in 1926, audiences flocked to see her dance her famous solo, the ‘Dying Swan’. She thrilled a whole generation of young dancers like small-town teenager Adele Hardwick, who refused to let reality get in the way of her dreams. This is the story of the life and death of a career inspired by genius, fueled by ambition and thwarted by circumstance.'
