Nureyev studied at the Leningrad Choreographic School, and became a soloist with the Kirov Ballet. While touring with the Ballet in 1961, he obtained political asylum in Paris. Nureyevs virtuosity and expressiveness made him one of the greatest male dancers of the 1960 s, in both classical and modern ballets. He became ballet director of the Paris Opera in 1983. / AFP PHOTO

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the meeting of two legendary figures in the world of performing arts. Rudolf Nureyev, a Soviet-born ballet dancer renowned for his extraordinary talent and expressive movements, stands on the right side of the frame. His dance partner Margot Fonteyn gracefully joins him on the left. The duo's radiant smiles reflect their shared joy and satisfaction after a gala performance in Nice. Captured backstage is another prominent artist, singer Robert Rocca, who has been drawn to these exceptional dancers like a moth to flame. Their encounter seems to be an exchange of admiration and respect between artists from different realms within the vast realm of artistry. Nureyev's journey began at the Leningrad Choreographic School before he rose as a soloist with the prestigious Kirov Ballet. However, it was during a tour in 1961 that he made history by seeking political asylum in Paris – an act that would forever shape his career and legacy. Recognized as one of the greatest male dancers not only in classical ballet but also modern interpretations, Nureyev's virtuosity captivated audiences worldwide. In 1983, he took on yet another role as ballet director at the Paris Opera – solidifying his influence over generations to come. This AFP photograph encapsulates both an iconic moment and a testament to artistic excellence that transcends borders and genres.
