Beautiful performance from ROMEO AND JULIET ballet, ACT 1, part 5/12, from 1966, with music by legendary Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.

This film is the 1966 famed Royal Ballet production of ROMEO AND JULIET. This is historical and is perhaps best known for the performance by legendary Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, who stars as the quintessential stage lovers. It captures the greatest dance partnership of our century at the peak of their careers. The ballet follows the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet, two young lovers from feuding families in Verona

Fonteyn and Nureyev's performance has been critically hailed as "perfection in movement which
epitomizes the freedom beyond technical mastery. It expresses itself as poetic lyricism.
ROMEO AND JULIET features Sergei Prokofiev's music, recognized as the first great full-length ballet score since Tchaikovsky's classics. The choreography of Kenneth Macmillan is acknowledged as the reason for the ballet's successful transfer to the film medium.
