Mikhail Baryshnikov has reminded the world how Plisetskaya danced “The Dying Swan” at 61! – TVNZ

In America it is called the only native of Russia with absolute recognition. In our country, his name is also very well known. For someone it causes negative feelings in connection with the so-called flight Baryshnikov from home for more than 40 years ago.

Recall that in 1974, a young soloist of the Mariinsky Theatre today (at that time Leningrad State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre Kirov, – Ed. ) while touring with a group of the Bolshoi Theatre in Canada has been invited to the troupe of “American Ballet Theatre” and refused to return to the USSR. But Mikhail Baryshnikov has never forgotten his roots, has always honored and honors its origins and sincerely proud of Russian ballet school, which gave him a start in life, admires its brightest representatives.

“Misha” (the name of his Americans that the United States is considered the highest degree of respect, – Ed. ) I am proud that he personally was familiar with the great Russian dancer Maya Plisetskaya. When Baryshnikov night reported the death of a ballerina, he wrote the touching words in my Facebook and encouraged to grieve for her thousands of fellow Americans. He is a master of ballet, knowing the biography of Maya Mikhailovna, decided to remind everyone about the role of the legendary Maya Plisetskaya, which she performed with 14 to 61 years:

– died on one of the greatest dancers of our time, the muse of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Cardin, beautiful and elegant Maya Plisetskaya. It will always be to us all divine inspiration – he wrote.

And then post a link to a video where she dances Room “The Dying Swan” in 1959 and in 1988 godu.- In this video it 61 year! – Said Michael.

Baryshnikov has also published photos of the Russian ballerina, one of which they are sealed together.

Many of the thousands of fans Baryshnikov in the United States and Russia have made repost his record and expressed condolences on the death of the great Russian ballerina.
