Description

Margot Fonteyn was the greatest dancer England has ever produced. In her life,* she transcended the world of dance and became a tabloid darling second to none,* a true celebrity. She remains,* fourteen years after her death,* the most famous ballerina of our time,* spectacular in roles such as Giselle,* Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty,* Odette in Swan Lake. And when,* already in her 40s,* she teamed up with Nureyev,* one of the most brilliant and magical partnerships in all of ballet history was born. The birth reached its climax 40 years ago with a production of Romeo and Juliet,* choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan,* with music by Prokofiev,* and those who saw the performances will tell you that nothing like it had been seen before * or since. The artistic and sexual frenzy between Fonteyn and Nureyev electrified all those who were lucky enough to be present. Fortunately,* there is film of those performances,* as there is film of Fonteyns greatest roles. The archive,* rarely seen,* is a treasure house.
