Nureyev and Friends

June 1974

This was the first season of the Nureyev and Friends programme, in which Nureyev danced in each work at every performance, and which evolved into tours with changing programmes and dancers throughout many years. The last Nureyev and Friends tour finished in Australia in 1991.
