About this listen
This week Hermione and Kat are covering the classic ballet Romeo and Juliet, choreographed by Kenneth Macmillan in 1965. It's one of the most technically gruelling, emotionally cathartic and visually beautiful ballets out there, and is absolutely perfect if you have never seen any ballet before.
What we're talking about in this episode:
- Background and plot of Romeo & Juliet, its origins, adaptions, positives and negatives
- How Macmillan's version came to be, and the drama about casting
- The story behind the iconic pairing of Margot Fonteyn with Rudolf Nureyev
