Dame Margot Fonteyn Tribute: Placido Domingo will sing and Rudolf Nureyev will dance at the Royal Opera House in London Wednesday in a tribute to Dame Margot Fonteyn, the ballerina whose New York first night drew 48 curtain calls 41 years ago. The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden said it expects Dame Margot, now 71 and retired on her late husband’s farm in Panama, to fly to London for the tribute from her old company, the Royal Ballet. Domingo is scheduled to sing before the company’s performance of “Romeo and Juliet,” in which the famous ballerina and Nureyev danced the title roles in 1965. This time, the 52-year-old Nureyev will dance the less strenuous role of Mercutio.
