rehearsing adagio from “Swan Lake“, 1982, and performing variations and coda from “Le Corsaire“, 1979. One memorable ballet partnership.
The second segment was taped at Goldwin Studios in LA on 25 Oct., 1979, just two months after his spectacular defection, and aired on the 3rd of March, 1980. That was Godunov’s American TV debut and actually his American dance debut.
Look what Cynthia said about her first encounters with Godunov
