www.nureyevlegendandlegacy.com/The unmatched impact of Rudolf Nureyev, whose performances touched the lives of people around the world, will be celebrated on stage this September in London over five performances at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane - where Nureyev made his London debut - in a production curated by a former star of The Royal Ballet which will bring together an array of international talent both on and off stage. At Nureyev Legend and Legacy, audiences will enjoy a programme of nine classical ballet excerpts representing highlights in Nureyev's career, hand-selected by former Royal Ballet principal Nehemiah Kish and performed by 22 of the leading dancers of our times - William Bracewell, Yuhui Choe, Alina Cojocaru, Cesar Corrales, Guillaume Côté (12th September), Benjamin Ella, Francesco Gabriele Frola, Emma Hawes, Francesca Hayward, Daichi Ikarashi, Oleg Ivenko, Natascha Mair, Hugo Marchand (5th and 6th September), Maia Makhateli, Vadim Muntagirov, Yasmine Naghdi, Natalia Osipova, Xander Parish, Iana Salenko, Marcelino Sambé, Alexandr Trusch, Marianna Tsembenhoi - representing companies which include The Royal Ballet, Paris Opera Ballet, Dutch National Ballet, National Ballet of Canada, and the English National Ballet. Performances of Nureyev Legend and Legacy will be hosted and introduced by former Director of The Royal Ballet Dame Monica Mason - who herself partnered Nureyev on a number of occasions - and Ralph Fiennes, the acclaimed actor and filmmaker who directed and acted in The White Crow, which tells the story of Nureyev's defection from Russia to the West. www.broadwayworld.com/uk-regional/article/Historys-Greatest-Ballet-Star-Will-Be-Celebrated-in-NUREYEV-LEGEND-AND-LEGACY-20220511

This looks terrific, but it also looks like it'll probably horribly expensive to pay for that line-up. And with different dancers on different dates, which date does one choose? There are some of my favourites listed for each date!

Many, many thanks TallPaul . I don't have a spare grand but front row stalls for £125 was too tempting to resist! Especially as I've just realised I'm probably misinterpreting the line-up. On first read I took it to mean that the first 5 dancers listed before the first date would only appear on that date & the next half a dozen dancers would only appear on the dates they're listed before. Now I look at is again, I think it actually means that it's only Marchand & Cote that aren't appearing at all performances. Therefore I only need to go to 1 performance so feel I can cough up for a better ticket than if I wanted to go twice.
