Nureyev: In His Own Voice

From his defection in 1961 to the end of his life, Rudolf Nureyev was never far from a camera and a microphone – a frequent guest of iconic talk show hosts around the world and the subject of numerous documentaries.

This collection of interviews, excerpts and newsreels capture Nureyev’s fierce intelligence, his playful demeanour, his charm and his magnetic personality. Even after decades in the West, his English remains heavily accented and his choice of language idiosyncratic.  

Millions of words have been written about this unique artist. Here is a chance to hear Rudolf Nureyev on life and work – in his own voice.
