A new ballet depicting the life of the Soviet-era dance genius Rudolf Nureyev has opened in Moscow, attracting dozens of VIPs and celebrities, and failing to cause any major scandals, despite controversies surrounding Nureyev and the ballet\u2019s director, Kirill Serebrennikov, who was not at the premi\u00e8re. <\/p>\n

The opening show of the ballet filled the renowned Bolshoi theatre and, according to media reports, scalpers had jacked the ticket price from the official 10000 rubles (about $170) to 60000 or even 85000 rubles ($1016-14400), despite attempts to fight the touts, through the introduction of personalized tickets and passport control on admission.<\/p>\n

The ballet, featuring some monologues, is based on the life of Rudolf Nureyev, the famous Soviet ballet dancer, who was granted political asylum in France in 1961, after he refused to return to Russia from a tour. Nureyev made a brilliant career in Western theaters and became popular in artistic circles. He died in Paris in 1992, of complications related to AIDS.<\/p>\n

Big names at the premi\u00e8re included well-known Russian cultural personalities, as well as politicians and officials. Vladimir Putin\u2019s press secretary Dmitry Peskov attended along with his wife, Olympic champion ice dancer Tatyana Navka and described the ballet as a major international cultural event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some controversial points in it, but as a whole, from the perspective of a creative search and some sort of a creative enchantment, this is a world-class event<\/em>,\u201d Peskov told the TASS news agency, adding that he personally did not see any of the show\u2019s scenes as provocative.<\/p>\n

Russian mass media had been speculating about possible provocative, or even indecent content in the Nureyev ballet, after the date of the premi\u00e8re was postponed, from July to December. Some suggested that the Russian Culture Ministry, in particular its head Vladimir Medinskiy, had opposed the show because of its treatment of Nureyev\u2019s homosexuality. Both the Culture Ministry and Bolshoi director Vladimir Urin dismissed these reports.<\/p>\n

Another possible reason behind the delay was that the chief director of the ballet, Kirill Serebrennikov, had been charged with organizing a scheme to defraud the state of 68 million rubles (about $1.15 million) and remains under house arrest, pending trial.<\/p>\n

However, investigators allowed the accused to regularly meet with the Bolshoi\u2019s director and he and the members of the troupe emphasized at the opening that Serebrennikov played a decisive role in the ballet production.<\/p>\n

Some of them also used the occasion to express solidarity with Serebrennikov and demand that all charges against him be lifted. Several troupe members came out for the curtain call wearing t-shirts with the director\u2019s portrait on them.<\/p>\n

According to Bolshoi Theater director the Nureyev ballet will be staged again in May.<\/p>\n
