EMMF1948
Nureyev, I used to live for the London Palladium programmes where he appeared, his Corsair still gives me goosebumps.
Do you mean the Ballet Russe programmes? They were quite late in his performing career. I saw one at the Palladium and one at the Coliseum. Someone in the audience at the latter was complaining that he couldn't leap anymore but I thought his characterisation was superb.
Did you see the film about his life, up to the time of his defection?
I'd love to have seen him when he first arrived in the UK.
