RudoIf Nureyev was one of the most celebrated dancers of the 20th century. No male dancer ever had more influence on the history, style and public perception of balIet. Nureyev & Friends, filmed in HD at Le Palais de Congres in May 2013, features dancers from the worId's finest baIlet 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 Rudolf 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 earIy days of his career with the Kirov BaIIet, his own creations such as Raymonda and Manfred and important coIlaborations 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 smalI, specially assembled casts, hence this impressive GaIa Tribute. With performances from award-winning principal 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 BoIshoi, The RoyaI BaIIet, The Kirov BaIIet and The Berlin State BaIlet, this is an evening to cherish. |
