Рудольф Нуреев. "Лебединое озеро".

Балет. Rudolf Nureyev, Margot Fonteyn & Wiener

Staatsopernballet. Music: P.I.Tchaikovsky. Chareography:

Rudolf Nureyev, 1966, 106 мин. Нуреев начал работать в

Королевском балете в Лондоне, и Запад захлестнула волна

"рудомании". На протяжении более 15 лет его постоянным

партнером была Марго Фонтейн . Благодаря Р. Нурееву роль

партнера-мужчины стала значимой и сравнялась с ролью

балерины. "Я хочу, чтоб мои танцы подействовали на человека,

как картины великих художников. Пусть мною восхищаются,

ненавидят, только не остаются равнодушными".(Р.Нуреев)
Венская Опера. 1964 г.
Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn. No other ballet

partnership is as legendary -- the fiery Russian defector and

the graceful, aging English ballerina formed a bond on and

off the stage that for several years practically defined

romantic ballet. Thus, for this very reason, hardcore

balletomanes should get this dvd. Many of us (including me)

were too young to have seen Nureyev and Fonteyn live, so

these videos are the only example to dissect the legendary

partnership. However, caveat emptor: this is NOT a "typical"

Swan Lake by any means. You can argue that there is no

"typical" Swan Lake -- the original production in 1877 was a

failure. Some of the music went missing. After Tchaikovksy's

death, the choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov

restaged Swan Lake, and that version more or less is the Swan

Lake audiences know today. There's lots of music, so most

versions of Swan Lake use the "traditional" pieces.
