See her entry in the Oxford DNB. The programme is 8pp, 12mo. In fair condition, lightly aged, with minor rust to staples. The cover consists of the royal crest printed in red, and the rest in black: 'ROYAL OPERA HOUSE / COVENT GARDEN' above the crest, and 'THE SADLER'S WELLS / BALLET / 1947' below it. At an angle across the centre of the page, in blue ink, is the large signature 'Margot Fonteyn'. Fonteyn leads the 'artists' listed on the reverse of the title, but does not appear to feature among the performers named in the details of the ballets on the evening of the programme (over the middle four pages): 'Les Sylphides', 'Checkmate' and 'La Boutique Fantasque'. Details of the Royal Opera House staff are given on the recto of the final leaf, with an advertisement for 'His Master's Voice' on the back cover. See Image.
