Marguerite and Armand
Marguerite and Armand, another on of Ashton's masterpieces made especially for Rudolph Nureyev and Dame Margot Fonteyn: I am really looking foward to watching this première in the 2017/18 Season in Vienna...
Here a short piece of their first pas de deux with Tamara Rojo and Sergei Polunin(The Royal Ballet about two years ago) - very high standards, not only technically but also emotionally... Yes, VERY high standards that set quite a scale for others to follow.
Sergei Polunin and Tamara Rojo perform Frederick Ashton's Marguerite and Armand with The Royal Ballet, 2013.
