After a period of instability, London Festival Ballet appointed Beryl Grey as the company’s new artistic director. She commissioned a number of important productions for the company, including Mary Skeaping’s Giselle, Rudolf Nureyev’s Romeo and Juliet and Peter Schaufuss’ La Sylphide, and remained at the helm until 1979.
