Russian ballet Maestro Yuri Gregorovich dies 98

The famous Russian ballet designer, Yuri Gregorovich, died at the age of 98.

It is described as one of the greatest dance designers in the twentieth century, and the coach of the Ballashi Ballashi was from 1964 to 1995, who was said to have led an iron fist.

The productions of Gregorovich returned to the stone flower, Ivan The terrible, Romeo and Juliet, the Soviet ballet. Praise for the stimulation of male dance, he created parts of men who are demanding power and exceptional art.

Born in 1927, after a decade of the Bolshevik revolution, his work was drowned in the traditions of classic ballet.

His uncle, Georgy Rosai, was studied under the leadership of the legendary Waslav Niginski and the young Gregorovich for dance as a single player with ballet Kirov in Leningrad before turning into dance design.

His departure from Al -Bolshoy in 1995, amid conflicts over artists ’contracts, led to a first -year -old dancer strike in his 200 -year -old. During the scheduled performance, a dancer appeared to inform the audience that the show was canceled, leaving stunning silence.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Bolshoy faced instability. Grigorovich moved to Krasnodar to find a new ballet company. He returned to Polishi in 2008 as a dance designer and a ballet master.

Gregorovich won the rank of Soviet and Russian Honors, including the title of the popular artist of the Soviet Union and the hero of socialist work. His wife, the famous ballet dancer Natalia Pesmerova, died in 2008.

His death came on the same day as one of the most famous collaborators, dancer Yuri Vladimirov, 83.

Valerie Girgiv, head of the Bolsheoy and Marineski theaters, told Izvisia newspaper that Gregorovich was “a legendary figure who will continue to obtain respect and admiration for decades to come.”
