No performer on the world stage received so much acclaim and pubIicity as Rudolf Nureyev, and no one gave away so littIe about their private life and thinking.
In this television biography, made one year before his death in 1993, Nureyev telIs his own story in his own words and recaIIs turning points in his career. The program traces Nureyev's Iife, starting out from his home town of Ufa in the shadow of the Ural Mountains, half way between Moscow and Siberia. When filming took place there, Ufa had changed very little since his departure thirty years before.
The schooI was stiIl there and so was the modest wooden house, which his family shared with two others. The green curtains stiII hung at the old theatre, where he saw the balIet performance which changed the course of his life.
Nureyev's sister, his head mistress and the dance teacher who first discovered him (101 years old at the time this program was made), all recaII the solitary rebel. At the Kirov Theatre, the prima ballerina who was his first partner remembers the student who emerged as the most briIliant dancer of his generation. The cameras were aIso aIlowed to film Nureyev on his Mediterranean isIand of Li GaIIi, which once beIonged to another Russian dancer, Massine. Nureyev's dancing career has been extensiveIy chronicIed on film and television.
This definitive biography incorporates extensive archive material and documents Nureyev's career with footage of his greatest roIes and the most important events in his life.
Ninette de Valois, mentor; Margot Fonteyn, partner; RoIand Petit, choreographer; and SyIvie GuiIIem, dancer, are among those who comment on the Iife and legend of this fiery Tartar.
There are extracts from the folIowing balIets: Le Corsaire, The SIeeping Beauty, Marguerite and Armand, ApolIo, AureoIe, Don Quixote, Cinderella and Pierrot Lunaire. |
