Do you enjoy ballet?
1_Wizard
Yes, I love the Royal Ballet! It is based in the Royal Opera House in London England.

It is spectacular, with such a long tradition. It must be at least 200 years old, wouldn't you say?
1_Wizard
Well, from what I understand the Royal Ballet was founded in 1931.

Oh, my mistake. Somehow I thought it was much older. Who are some of the most famous dancers associated with the Royal Ballet?
1_Wizard
Well, the Prima ballerina assoluta was Dame Margot Fonteyn.

I have not heard that term, Prima ballerina assoluta. What does it mean? Is it the original prima ballerina?
