Double loss at Bolshoi

Double loss at Bolshoi

The ballet has announced the death of Yuri Grigorovich, its all-powerful director from 1964 to 1995. No large stage in the Soviet Union was untouched by his productions. His most performed choreographies included Prokofiev’s Ivan the Terrible and Romeo and Juliet.

Grigorivich was 98 at his passing.

Also among the Bolshoi’s losses is the dancer and teacher Yuri Vladimirov. He was 83. Vladimirov danced from 1962 to 1987 and continued to take class until quite recently.

May they enjoy eternal rest.
