Эпоха,,,,

Yuri Grigorovich, a choreographer and ballet master who helped define Soviet-era Russian ballet, died on May 19, 2025. He was 98.

Grigorovich was well-known for his choreographic contributions to classical ballet—most notably his 1968 full-length, "Spartacus"—as well as for leading the Bolshoi Ballet from 1964 to 1995. His choreography moved the Russian style from its pantomime-heavy past to a future that foregrounded pure dance expression.

“I think every kind of ballet has the right to exist. But I am not so interested in abstract symphonic ballets,” he said in a 1991 “Dance Magazine” interview with writer Robert Johnson. “I’m interested in dramatic ballets and I try to express theater through music.”
