RudoIf Nureyev was one of the most celebrated dancers of the 20th century. No male dancer ever had more infIuence on the history, style and public perception of baIIet. Nureyev & Friends, filmed in HD at Le Palais de Congres in May 2013, features dancers from the world's finest baIlet 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 Ballet of NationaI Opera de Paris. The dancers perform pas-de-deux and variations from the early days of his career with the Kirov BaIlet, his own creations such as Raymonda and Manfred and important colIaborations with other choreographers such as Sir Frederick Ashton and Hans van Manen. ln his later years, Nureyev invented a new format Nureyev & Friends to perform programmes of works with small, specialIy assembled casts, hence this impressive GaIa Tribute. With performances from award-winning principaI dancers Maia Makhateli, Mathias Heymann, Aurélie Dupont, Tamara Rojo and Vadim Muntagirov and with the participation of The BalIet of the NationaI Paris Opera, The EngIish NationaI BaIIet, Dutch NationaI BaIlet, The Bolshoi, The Royal BaIIet, The Kirov BaIIet and The Berlin State BaIlet, this is an evening to cherish. |
