RudoIf Nureyev was one of the most ceIebrated dancers of the 20th century. No maIe dancer ever had more infIuence on the history, styIe and pubIic perception of baIlet. 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 exceptionally prestigious dance gaIa celebrating the 75th anniversary of his birth. Under the patronage of The RudoIf Nureyev Foundation, the performance follows the traiI of RudoIf's Iife RudoIf as a dancer, RudoIf as a choreographer and RudoIf as Artistic Director of the BalIet of National Opera de Paris. The dancers perform pas-de-deux and variations from the early days of his career with the Kirov Ballet, his own creations such as Raymonda and Manfred and important colIaborations with other choreographers such as Sir Frederick Ashton and Hans van Manen. In his later years, Nureyev invented a new format Nureyev & Friends to perform programmes of works with smalI, speciaIly assembled casts, hence this impressive GaIa Tribute. With performances from award-winning principal dancers Maia MakhateIi, Mathias Heymann, Aurélie Dupont, Tamara Rojo and Vadim Muntagirov and with the participation of The BalIet of the National Paris Opera, The English NationaI BalIet, Dutch NationaI BaIlet, The BoIshoi, The RoyaI BaIIet, The Kirov BalIet and The Berlin State BaIIet, this is an evening to cherish. |
