The Perfect PartnershipDVD
Peter Batty's famous film covers the most sensational story in Ballet which is stranger than fiction - an establishment English ballerina's unlikely teaming with a young Russian defector, half her age, to become the most glamorous ballet coupling of the glamorous sixties and seventies. Theirs is a story of politics, drugs, shootings and international fame. This great release includes performances of ' Giselle', ' Le Corsaire', 'les Sylphides 1&2', ' Marguerite et Armand', ' Swan Lake', ' Birthday Offering' (dress rehearsal), ' Hamlet and Ophelia', and ' Romeo and Juliet'. Also included in the D V D are interviews with Ninette de Valois, Margot Fonteyn and Rudolph Nureyev, plus film from cameras smuggled into performances, film of Nureyev's arrest on drug charges and a selection of extracts from their most famous ballets.
