NYCB Vol. 3 No. 46 - A Midsummer Night's Dream

(9/12) Patty originated the role of Hermia, however, the first photo shows her as Titania a few years later. I love the photos of Balanchine partnering with her, and helping her with her headpiece. It seems no detail escaped him when it came to his ballerinas.
