	HIV & AIDS - The Death of Rudolf Nureyev
		According to Canesi, Nureyev died from a very rare case of pericarditis (inflammation of the heart) brought on by infection by cytomegalovirus (CMV), a member of the herpes family.
		However, Nureyev was in good health at the time, and chose to deny the lethal diagnosis that was imposed on him; he reasoned that not much was really known about "AIDS", and only about ten percent of the seropositives would get sick.
		Canesi counseled Nureyev against this, stating that AZT had dangerous side effects, and that not enough was known about the drug to judge the results.

	Introduction
		Rudolf Nureyev was born of Tartar parents on March 17th, 1938 on a trans-Siberian train en route to Vladivostock where his father was serving in the Russian army.
		Rudolf Nureyev's dance career spanned 3 decades, from 1958/59 with the Kirov in Leningrad to 1992 when he staged his final production of La Bayadere at the Paris Opera.
		When Rudolf Nureyev landed dramatically in the West in 1961, abandoning the Kirov Ballet on the tarmac of Le Bourget airport, he was hailed as the most sensational male dancer since Nijinsky, changing the male dancer's role from one of support to one of dominance.

	Rudolf Nureyev Birthday Tribute 1938 - 1993
		The unfolding of Nureyev's version (see synopsis), which closely follows that of the Kirov, ends when the despairing Solor resorts to opium and is transported to another world where he joins Nikiya in one of the most famous "white acts" in the history of classical dance.
		Patrice Bart (Nureyev's assistant from 1986, now ballet master associated to the director) responsible for this dream-like lyricism, spoke to me of the problems in staging the work six years after Nureyev's death.
		Nureyev left his trace through his ballets and we are transmitting his works in such a way that they remain meaningful to a changing public.

	Metroactive Books \| Rudolf Nureyev Biography
		Nureyev played an (often-unwitting) role in so many major historical and cultural events of his time that his life had a Forrest Gump quality.
		NUREYEV WAS BORN on the Trans-Siberian Express train in 1938 as his mother made the six-day trip from her Ural Village to join her husband, a soldier and devoted Communist, in Russia's Far East.
		Newsweek ran its second Nureyev cover with the headline "AIDS and the Arts: A Lost Generation." Once again, his life was the subject of controversy, as some gay activists denounced Nureyev for denying that he had AIDS to the press, thus failing to raise consciousness about the disease.

		Nureyev eschews the dark, poignant undercurrents of the knight-errant's misadventures to focus more on the story of two lovers, Basilio and Kitri, given committed performances Thursday night by Yury Yanowsky and the exquisite Lorna Feijoo.

		Patricia Foy's absorbing documentary Rudolf Nureyev, a portrait of surely the most committed and versatile dancer in the history of ballet, was made in 1991, two years before his death.
		Nureyev was a controversial figure wherever he went -- temperamental, demanding, flamboyant, and ruthlessly devoted to his art, he butted heads with costars, management, and an entire ballet company (the Paris Opera Ballet, which he ran with an iron hand).
		Nureyev in the interviews is visibly tired but eloquent, and a few years later we found out why: after a courageous battle he died of AIDS in 1993.

		If you read Rudolf Nureyev's life story in a novel, you simply wouldn't believe it.
		For nearly thirty years Nureyev danced anywhere, everywhere, seemingly every night - his passion for performance was insatiable and he drove himself far harder than any maitre de ballet would have dared.
		Even the best film, though, doesn't convey the truth about Nureyev the dancer: for the electricity, the danger, the astonishing charisma, you just had to be there.

		But it's likely your list would include Rudolf Nureyev, who danced and lived so passionately, flamboyantly, and rebelliously that his death from AIDS in 1993 was worldwide news.
		I was enthralled by the idea of a Russian dancer penetrating a working-class home in Dublin, of his image being carried in the arms of a boy, and of that boy eventually growing up and bringing his story halfway across the world to New York.
		I began to read a biography of Nureyev, and after 50 pages I saw another image that changed it all for me. I read that his first public dance was in 1944 at the age of 6.

	Muppet Central Guides - The Muppet Show: Rudolf Nureyev
		Since it was a major coup to get Nureyev to guest on the show, the writers may have wanted to tease the audience a little into seeing if Rudolf would actually be the guest or if it was a gag.
		Nureyev is one of the 20th century's greatest ballet dancers, perhaps the last person you'd expect to find on The Muppet Show.
		Rudolf starts the number for Sam then makes his way backstage onto the stage where he's joined by Muppet chorus line (including Mahna Mahna!) all in top hats and tuxes.

	ArtandCulture Artist: Rudolph Nureyev (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Although too erratic in technique to earn the distinction of virtuoso, Rudolf Nureyev still took a place among the most brilliant dancers in history.
		During the 1970s, Nureyev appeared in several movies and toured the U.S. in a revival of the Broadway musical "The King and I." He also indelibly impacted the next wave of ballerinas by convincing the Royal Ballet to cast against type.
		But it is Nureyev's own regal, impetuous dancing that is his true legacy: his Siegfried, who threw his arms about in wild lust after the Swan Queen; his Romeo, who clutched Juliet so passionately you feared his fingernails might draw blood.

		This video reveals the last 10 years of Nureyev's life, focusing on his relationship with the Paris Opera of which he became Artistic director and the up's and downs that he encountered with them.
		My one reservation is that the running time is only 52 minutes and of course this means that a lot of the films facts are skimmed over quite quickly.If you know nothing about Nureyev you will find the documentary interesting.
