Biographical notes:

The International Ballet was founded in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1941 by choreographer and dancer Mona Inglesby. The original company consisted of twenty-one dancers with a repertoire of seven ballets and a permanent orchestra of fifteen. One of the aims of International Ballet was to present classical ballets in the manner in which they were originally conceived. The classical ballets were reproduced by Nicolai Sergeev from the choreographic scores brought out of Russia by Sergeev. The company performed primarily in and around London, often taking ballet to towns not visited by other companies. International Ballet was disbanded in 1953 due to financial difficulties.
