The life and tribulations of world renowned ballerina Margot Fonteyn as told by herself, friends and fellow dancers.
How did it come about that the most famous dancer England has ever produced was deceived and betrayed by those closest to her; of how a girl brought up in Shanghai, told her mother she would one day become the greatest dancer in the world; and of how, in spite of being almost unable to walk, she was still performing at 67? Among the ballets featured are: ‘Swan Lake’; ‘Giselle’; ‘The Sleeping Beauty’; ‘Marguerite and Armand’; ‘The Nutcracker’; ‘Les Sylphides’ and of course ‘Romeo and Juliet’ with Nureyev. Tony Palmer
