Out in the Limelight, Home in the Rain

Margot Fonteyn explores the dancer's life. The rigours of ballet class, the rehearsals and preparation, and finally the moment of judgment when it's out in the limelight and on with the performance. Some of Margot Fonteyn's greatest moments on stage are relived in Salut d'Amour, which Frederick Ashton created for a Gala Birthday Tribute. The series ends with a complete performance of Ashton's ballet Marguerite and Armand, which was inspired by Dumas's tragic love story La Dame aux Camelias. It is performed by the partnership for which it was created - Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev.
