Dart & Dash. Choreographer MacMillan, striving to project the psychological motivation of the star-crossed lovers, leans more on drama than dance. Beyond a lovely pas de deux in the first act, Nureyev and Fonteyn had little chance to display their glittering technique, so involved were they in acting out the complexities of the plot. Nureyev, despite a wig that looked like a wet dishrag, was a compelling and thoroughly convincing hero. Free of exaggeration, he masterfully portrayed Romeo as a roustabout turned rapt lover.

(On the whole, Christianity took a fairly heavy beating last Saturday night...
...adopted by a Western company. And he has made basic alterations in several other works, including Giselle and the Nutcracker adagio. If this is always aimed at enhancing the male role, a reasonable response is why not? Nearly all classical ballets are a pastiche of showpieces designed to display the talents of individual dancers. Nureyev can do more than most dancers, and he wants choreography that will allow him to prove...
