SWEET, soulful Ravenna Tucker. Tiny Sandra Madgwick, the freckle-faced firecracker.
Only a great choreographer could see the same immortal heroine in these two startlingly different dancers and the late Sir Kenneth MacMillan was just such a visionary.
Both wonderful for the role of Juliet, decreed the legendary Briton who died last October, leaving the ballet world in mourning - and so it will be this week when the Birmingham Royal Ballet performs MacMillan's magnificent Romeo and Juliet at the Cultural Centre Grand Theatre.
In fact there are five Juliets in this production. Rightly, tomorrow's opening night honours have gone to Marion Tate, regarded as one of the world's greatest interpreters of MacMillan roles and the Birmingham Royal's artistic director, Peter Wright, haschosen two other exceptional talents - Tokyo-born Miyako Yoshida and 20-year-old Spanish wunderkind Monica Zamora.
All can be counted on to bring something special to MacMillan's ballet, yet local eyes are bound to linger longest on the dancers with the Hongkong connections.
''My parents moved here about nine years ago and I reckon they'll stay till 1997,'' said the daughter of British civil engineer Ken Madgwick and his wife Shirley.
