In 1963, Ninette de Valois stepped down as director of The Royal Ballet, although she remained actively involved in the companies and school she created until her death in 2001. She was replaced by Frederick Ashton who, during his leadership, created some of his finest ballets, including The Dream, Monotones and Enigma Variations.
