A most entertaining conversation. Had the pleasure of partnering Fiona as Lord Paris. Also have the pleasure of being married to her. So wonderful to see Cranko's R&J back on stage after a 19 year absence. It is part of TAB's DNA. A lovely gift to a new generation.
I find these “conversations “ so revealing and informative. My first R&J, if I remember correctly, was Stuttgart’s tour in 1971(?) … I was in heaven watching Marcia Haydee and Richard Cragun steal my teenage heart!
Thank you for this very intimate, personal discussion. I was a student atThe Stuttgart Ballet Akademie, so I was blessed to see this Cranko version many times in Stuttgart. The Australian ballet also do it justice. They have really matured both emotionally and technically!!!
Her Juliet was sublime! There is a recording of it when they performed it at the State Theatre in Melbourne, I think in the very early 90’s - maybe even 1990. At the end, when she comes out for her curtain call, you can see the emotion; it’s like she truly was Juliet.

We must protect Fiona Tonkin at all costs, she is such a darling

I have my Sydney ticket. I can't wait! I haven't seen a production of R&J since 2001 at the Entertainment Centre.
Cranko’s version will always be my favourite. I first saw it in 1974 with Maina Gielgud & Gary Norman. I have never forgotten the magic!👏👏🩰
Shakespeare needs to be seen. Romeo and Juliet is so beautiful as a ballet
She is so beautiful! I wish I could’ve seen her dance.
She was magic,I was lucky enough to see her a couple of times back in the day

A brilliant dramatic dancer, always one of my favourite ballerinas❤
