The Prokofiev-Shakespeare ballet Romeo & Juliet, in Rudolf Nureyev's choreography, premiered London 1977. This is Nureyev's video of his 1980 La Scala production with himself as Romeo, Carla Fracci as Juliet, Margot Fonteyn as Lady Capulet and Tiziano Mietto as Tybalt. Conductor Michel Sasson.
Many years ago saw Nuryev and Carla Fracci dance this at Lincoln Center. Absolutely unforgettable. The dramatic tension was about the most powerful thing I've seen on stage. Thanks for posting.
