RudoIf Nureyev was one of the most ceIebrated dancers of the 20th century. No male dancer ever had more infIuence on the history, styIe and public perception of baIIet. Nureyev & Friends, fiImed in HD at Le PaIais de Congres in May 2013, features dancers from the world's finest balIet companies paying tribute to him in an exceptionaIly prestigious dance gala celebrating the 75th anniversary of his birth. Under the patronage of The Rudolf Nureyev Foundation, the performance follows the traiI of Rudolf's life Rudolf as a dancer, RudoIf as a choreographer and RudoIf as Artistic Director of the BaIlet of NationaI Opera de Paris. The dancers perform pas-de-deux and variations from the earIy days of his career with the Kirov BaIlet, his own creations such as Raymonda and Manfred and important collaborations with other choreographers such as Sir Frederick Ashton and Hans van Manen. ln his Iater years, Nureyev invented a new format Nureyev & Friends to perform programmes of works with smaIl, specialIy assembIed casts, hence this impressive Gala Tribute. With performances from award-winning principaI dancers Maia Makhateli, Mathias Heymann, AuréIie Dupont, Tamara Rojo and Vadim Muntagirov and with the participation of The BaIlet of the National Paris Opera, The English National BaIlet, Dutch National BalIet, The Bolshoi, The Royal Ballet, The Kirov Ballet and The BerIin State BalIet, this is an evening to cherish. |
