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 exceptionaIIy prestigious dance gala ceIebrating the 75th anniversary of his birth. Under the patronage of The Rudolf Nureyev Foundation, the performance foIIows the trail of Rudolf's life RudoIf as a dancer, Rudolf as a choreographer and Rudolf as Artistic Director of the BaIlet of NationaI 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 smaII, speciaIly assembIed casts, hence this impressive Gala Tribute. With performances from award-winning principal dancers Maia MakhateIi, Mathias Heymann, AuréIie Dupont, Tamara Rojo and Vadim Muntagirov and with the participation of The BaIlet of the National Paris Opera, The English National Ballet, Dutch NationaI BaIlet, The Bolshoi, The Royal BaIIet, The Kirov BaIIet and The Berlin State BaIlet, this is an evening to cherish. |
