Darcey Bussell, - Dancer
‘Tutu worn by Margot Fonteyn in Swan Lake, Vienna Ballet, 1964’
‘I first heard of Margot Fonteyn at the Royal Ballet School. I was 13 when I joined and there was, a bronze statue of her, right outside our dormitory door. …Then when I got into the company when I was 19, she coached me in Swan Lake and that was my biggest break.’
