EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, we see the legendary Soviet-born ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev striking a pose at the Theatre des Champs Elyses in Paris. It is June 22,1961, and Nureyev is preparing to perform with the prestigious International Ballet of the Marquis de Cuevas. Nureyev's journey to this momentous occasion began years earlier when he studied at the renowned Leningrad Choreographic School. His talent and dedication led him to become a soloist with the esteemed Kirov Ballet. However, it was during a tour with the company that fate intervened. Seeking freedom from political constraints, Nureyev made a daring decision that would forever change his life – he obtained political asylum in Paris. This bold move allowed him to fully showcase his virtuosity and expressiveness on international stages. Renowned for his exceptional skills in both classical and modern ballets, Nureyev quickly rose to prominence as one of the greatest male dancers of his time. His magnetic presence captivated audiences worldwide. The photograph captures Nureyev's elegance and grace as he stands tall in a square portrait format. The intensity in his eyes hints at the passion that fueled every step he took on stage. Years later, in 1983, Nureyev would go on to become ballet director of the prestigious Paris Opera – an achievement befitting his extraordinary career. This AFP print immortalizes not only
