Dame Merle Park DBE, former Principal, The Royal Ballet:
"I loved working with Sir Fred. His innate musicality and the plastique movements he desired from a dancer were always a challenge but interesting and fun. He was adamant that choreographers should leave the audience wanting more - he was never afraid to cut - hence I can't think of any of his ballets that bore me."
