		He thought it was a brush off.” MacMillan was at the height of his notoriety but unable to cope with internal company factions determined to be rid of him, almost universal outside condemnation and failing health brought on by depression and heavy drinking.
		“Kenneth died of a heart attack,” she explains, “during a performance of Mayerling.” MacMillan, a former director of the Royal Ballet, left his wife in the in the auditorium during the second interval to visit the dancers backstage.
		Kenneth was absolutely hopeless about the house.” It is sort of comforting for the rest of us to learn that the man acknowledged as a genius of dance had feet of clay after all.

		She contacted MacMillan, and it was arranged that the ballet should be rehearsed in Monte Carlo with a Lisbon premiere in January 1957.

	Ballet-Dance Magazine - Birmingham Royal Ballet - Romeo and Juliet - Kenneth MacMillan - by David Mead
		MacMillan also drew significantly on Cranko, notably in the lack of importance given to the family feud, the introduction of Rosaline into the ballet, the convulsive manner of Tybalt’s death and the omission of the final reconciliation.
		MacMillan himself said that he was not interested in the purely decorative side of ballet and a strong sense of character certainly comes through in many of his works, “Romeo and Juliet” included.
		MacMillan once confessed that he was “sick of fairy tales” and if a story calls for the choreographyto be ugly, just like life can sometimes be, then so be it.

	Revealing a master. (News).(choreogrpher Sir Kenneth MacMillan) - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		"Kenneth would be roaring with laughter listening to all this analysis of his works," proclaimed his widow, Lady Deborah MacMillan, at the end of a two-day conference on Sir Kenneth MacMillan's work and life.
		It was ten years ago that MacMillan, one of Britain's greatest choreographers--and certainly the most controversial--succumbed to a heart attack backstage at the Royal Opera House during the opening night of The Royal Ballet's revival of Mayerling.
		Each one of the ten excellent paper sand various panels offered different aspects of MacMillan and his exploration of the psychological motivations of his characters, which broke the boundaries of balletic tradition with raw, often brutal and explicitly sexual exposes of real life in the twentieth century.

		Even though she was married to the choreographer Sir Kenneth MacMillan for nearly 20 years, and even though he has been dead for nearly a decade, she has started to get invited to functions where the organisers have been expecting Lady Dorothy Macmillan, widow of the late Sir Harold.
		Kenneth MacMillan has long been ranked as one of Britain's finest choreographers, and though his oeuvre (over 50 ballets) encompasses a range of styles, it is full-length narrative works such as Manon and Romeo And Juliet that have become most famous.
		Macmillan may have been a celebrated artist, but he still thought of himself as an outsider, and an insecure one at that.

		MacMillan’s early works were immensely promising, and far more diverse than you would know from his later output or from what we see on stage today.
		The ballet finally established MacMillan’s name outside ballet circles: ironically, because it was seen by the popular press as primarily a vehicle for the Fonteyn-Nureyev partnership, although MacMillan had created it on Seymour and Christopher Gable and was coerced into giving the first night to the more famous stars.
		MacMillan’s widow, who owns the rights to all his ballets, is also a powerful figure in the organization, although she has no official role since she was invited to join the Arts Council last year (a post, incidentally, from which she has already resigned).

		The Macmillans at this time received much of their possessions with a marriage with the heiress of the Chief of the MacNeills in the 16th century.
		In 1742 the chiefship was assumed by Duncan Macmillan of Dunmore by the Lord Lyon.

	Attitudes - remembering Sir Kenneth MacMillan Dance Magazine - Find Articles
		MacMillan is generally rated, particularly in Britain, among the important choreographers of the past century--not quite in the Fokine, Balanchine, Ashton, Tudor, Robbins hierarchy, but not too far below.
		I watched MacMillan's career from his debut as a dancer in 1946 with the Sadler's Wells Opera Ballet, his debut as a choreographer with the Sadler's Wells Choreographic Group in 1953, to his final work, The Judas Tree, and his posthumous dances for the Royal National Theater's Carousel, both in 1992.
		For example, MacMillan's way with a corps de ballet is extraordinarily primitive; he never learned the basic secret of employing large numbers onstage.

	BALLET: A NEW 'REQUIEM' BY KENNETH MacMILLAN - New York Times
		The latest example is ''Requiem'' by Sir Kenneth MacMillan - a strange spectacle with a daring premise that was led by Alessandra Ferri and Gil Boggs at its New York premiere with American Ballet Theater Monday night.
		Sir Kenneth, for his part, has occasionally been attracted to classically trained musicians who turn to religious forms: Two of his earlier ballets are entitled ''Gloria'' (to Poulenc) and ''Requiem'' (this time, to Faure).
		Perversely, Sir Kenneth is least expressive in the moments when the movement seeks to be most expressive - all the rolling around and floor work adds up to very little.

	Christine Temin on The Royal Ballet
		Mason was one of the main muses of the Scottish-born choreographer who died in 1992, leaving behind evening-length ballets including Mayerling, Anastasia, and Manon, works that revolutionized the concept and core of the three-act story ballet.
		Kenneth was also deeply interested in psychology, and in ‘straight’ theater as well as dance.”
		MacMillan certainly required classically trained dancers, but then he required them to put their hearts on the line, not just their footwork.

		He sets a perfect example of a Godly authority who wouldn't let friend nor fiend stand in the way of carrying out a punishment, a decision, or a war.
		Henry V was an excellent portrayal of a humble King (Kenneth Branagh) who knows what leadership is and how to handle it.

		It is no exaggeration to say that Kenneth MacMillan, through his choreography and through his choice of subject matter, pushed back the frontiers of ballet.
		Thereafter, MacMillan danced with the Covent Garden company (he was a fine classical dancer), returned to the Wells and gradually abandoned dancing for his true vocation - choreography.
		MacMillan also created ballets in Stuttgart (Song of the Earth and Requiem), served as director of ballet at the Deutsche Oper, Berlin, and was Artistic Associate of American Ballet Theatre (1984-89) and Houston Ballet (1989-92).
