Description
Description from WorldCat.org (https://www.worldcat.org/title/magic-of-dance-episode-6-out-of-the-limelight-home-in-the-rain/oclc/317360634):
In this final program, Fonteyn explores the dancer's life: the rigors of ballet, the rehearsals, preparation, and the moment of judgment when it is "out of 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," inspired by Dumas' tragic love story, La Dame aux camélias. It is performed by Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev. This segment also features Frederick Ashton, Michael Somes and the Royal Ballet.
