Рудольф Нуреев. “Лебединое озеро“.

Балет. Rudolf Nureyev, Margot Fonteyn & Wiener Staatsopernballet. Music: . 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.
