I saw the filmed version of the Royal Ballet production of Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet” at the Lawrence Park Theatre on a Friday night in October 1966. It featured Rudolf Nureyev as Romeo and Margot Fonteyn as Juliet. It was one of the first instances of a ballet that was filmed for theatrical release. It was also my first date with a girl from Lansdowne-Aldan High School who will remain nameless. It was a night that I will never forget.
