retrospect

Carla Fracci   visited the backstage of  Margot Fonteyn  and Rudolf Nureyev 's Romeo and Juliet .   

Teatro alla Scala season 1965-66

Carla respected  Margot very much . She regarded  Margot as a spiritual mother . 

She said  Rudolf was very kind , also capricious and very loney. 

Rudolf said he told her , "  You have a family  and a child . But  I don't  have anything." 

Carla also mentioned  the relationship between  Margot and Rudolf. 

" They loved each other  very much.  It's a positive Oedipus complex , motherly  tender love.  Margot told her  to treat  Rudolf  like a son...."
