Juliet Burnett Juliet Burnett is a soloist with The Australian Ballet. When she’s not captivating audiences Juliet can be found reading E.E Cummings, enjoying gastronomic delights with her husband Nick and promulgating her love of animals, in particular their two bunnies Jack and Sadie. The most watched DVD in their collection is probably the complete Monty Python, and her minimum bribe level is a bottle of Shiraz. |
