Marguerite and Armand is a ballet danced to an orchestral arrangement of Franz Liszt's B minor piano sonata.
It was created in 1963 by the British choreographer Sir Frederick Ashton specifically for Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn.
In her delirium she recalls her love affair with a young man named Armand, which the ballet portrays using many dreamlike flashback sequences.
At the end of this sequence, Marguerite tests Armand's love by throwing a white flower to the ground as her wealthy protector leads her away.
Revivals of the ballet have starred pairings such as Sylvie Guillem and Nicolas Le Riche, Zenaida Yanowsky and Roberto Bolle, Alessandra Ferri and Federico Bonelli, and Tamara Rojo and Sergei Polunin.
The piece was performed in a triple bill alongside Kenneth MacMillan's Concerto and Peter Wright's Summertide.
