Description
1 videocassette (VHS, PAL) (27 min.) : si., b&w; 1/2 in.
Summary
Excerpts from various rehearsals, most of them dress rehearsals onstage. Rudolf Nureyev is the center of interest, and much of the footage is devoted to his solos. After a brief sequence filmed in the studio, Nureyev is seen rehearsing in practice clothes onstage. An 11-min. sequence, including excerpts from all four acts of the ballets, starts at ca. 6 min. into the tape. The remaining 10 min. depict excerpts from Act I, possibly filmed in 1965 during Nureyev's second staging of the ballet in Vienna. Some sections are very dark, and focus is sometimes poor.
