Dale Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I put this in the New York listings on DanceView Times and Ari had a link, but here are more of the particulars. On October 9, 1949, the Sadler's Wells Ballet (later the Royal Ballet) introduced Margot Fonteyn to America at the Metropolitan Opera House as Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty. Her luminous stage presence, profound musicality, and exquisite line so captivated the audience that her performance passed into legend overnight. Beginning May 18, the exhibition Margot Fonteyn in America: A Celebration will be on view through September 3 in the Vincent Astor Gallery at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center, 40 Lincoln Center Plaza, New York, NY. Admission is free.Exhibition hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, 12 noon to 6 p.m.; Thursday, 12 noon to 8 p.m.; closed Sundays, Mondays, and holidays. Admission is free. For further information, telephone 212.870.1630. Link to comment
