Yuri Grigorovich

Bolshoi Ballet stars dance to Prokofiev's score of a cruel Russian czar (Yuri Vladimirov) and his poisoned wife (Natalia Bessmertnova).

Iconic Bolshoi production born in 1968 returns to cinema for its 2021/22 season. In Imperial Rome, Spartacus and his wife Phrygia are reduced to slavery and separated, but his love for her will lead him to revolt against the Roman army.

A film created for the 60th anniversary of the famous choreographer Yuri Grigorovich. The celebrant reflects on his life and recalls important milestones in his biography.

A valuable testimony that approaches the essence of Nijinsky who did not leave a video. Boris Kochno, who was at the center of Russian ballet, vividly tells how Nijinsky, who had fallen ill, witnessed his newly choreographed self-made work. Nijinsky's successor machine is a rare record of transferring Nijinsky's appearance in the popular work "Afternoon of a Faun" to two great dancers, Grigorowich and Wasiriev, who carry Bolshoi ballet on their backs.

The role of Anastasia entered Natalia Bessmertnova's creative biography as one of the roles that best suited her acting personality and professional abilities. The libretto has no literary basis; it was written by the choreographer himself. The score was assembled by Mikhail Chulaki from fragments of Sergei Prokofiev's music for Sergei Eisenstein's film of the same name and other works by the composer. According to Yuri Grigorovich, it was the music that became the primary creative impetus for the ballet's creation.
