Born on a train in Stalin's Russia, Rudolf Nureyev was
ballet's first pop icon. No other dancer of our time has
generated the same excitement. Nureyev's achievements and
conquests became legendary: he rose out of poverty to become the
Kirov's thrilling maverick star; slept with his beloved
mentor's wife; defected to the West in 1961; sparked Rudimania
across the globe; gave his rabid sexuality full reign; established
the most rhapsodic partnership in dance history with the
middle-aged Margot Fonteyn; reinvented male technique; gatecrashed
modern dance; moulded new stars; and staged Russia's unknown
ballet masterpieces in the West.
