Margot Fonteyn, Rudolph Nureyev - The Balcony Scene PDD from ’Romeo and Juliet’

This is footage of studio performance by Margot Fonteyn and Rudolph Nureyev of the famous balcony scene pas de deux from Kenneth MacMillan’s ’Romeo and Juliet’. The choreographer is at his very best in the pas de deux and the two major sequences in this ballet (in the balcony and bedroom scenes) are among his finest achievements. The entire ballet was filmed in 1966 on the stage at Covent Garden but I do not know when this back and white studio performance was shot. Enjoy!
