PAM'S PHOTOS
'Swan Lake' in Melbourne
with London's Royal Ballet Covent Garden

When I auditioned successfully for a non-dancing / acting role in 'Swan Lake'
with the Royal Ballet Covent Garden, I fulfilled a childhood dream,
alas not as a dancer, but to perform on stage with some of the finest dancers in the world.
To be chosen for the role of 'Governess' to the Prince's children, by Artistic Director Anthony Dowell,
was more than I could have have dreampt.
I will never forget the music..the costumes..the dancers..heaven....Pamela Sidney
