Alexander Godunov as Tybalt

Some brief moments from Godunov’s last ballet part with the Bolshoi, 1979. “O, he is the courageous captain of compliments. He fights as you sing prick-song, keeps time, distance, and proportion; rests me his minim rest, one, two, and the third in your bosom: the very butcher of a silk button, a duellist, a duellist; a gentleman of the very first house, of the first and second cause: ah, the immortal passado! the punto reverso! the hai!“ from “Romeo and Juliet“ by Shakespeare
