For the Royal Ballet, the performance was the high point of its first two weeks in New York (the start of a four-month U.S. tour). For New York ballet buffs, it was a sample of more to come. This week Royal Ballet Stars Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn make their first appearances of the season; and next week the American Ballet Theater will arrive for a month with its new, widely heralded, full-length Swan Lake...
