  I saw him give a rare performance on opening night of the Paris Ballet in Los Angeles in 1986 or 1987. He was the Director and gave us opening nighters a rare treat. He was so gracious and appreciative of the standing ovation. I was in the 4th row and will never forget the look on his beautiful face.

  I was fortunate enough to have been in London when he was dancing Marguerite and Armand with Fonteyn at Covent Garden.  It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my 77 years of life.

  Nureyev -a powerful, magical presence that went beyond the beauty of the dance. We will never know another like him . Annette

  My dad was manager at the Paris Opera when Nureyev was director. My step mother was a ballerina and Nureyev loved her and my dad. My dad was always bringing me with him at the Opera. It was my second home. Nureyev was so impressive when he was giving classes. Just to be next to him you could feel his immense charisma. What a blessing for me to grow amongst him and some other incredible dancers of that period.

  While watching him, I caught myself literally holding my breath. I wonder, is that where the term, “breathtaking,” comes from? I mean, just look at him!

  At the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, while dancers who were warming up on stage left, Nureyev, came downstage center and did a series of pliés in first position.  As he did his deep demi plié in first, he got an applause!  And this was him just warming up.  Such presence even in warming up!

  The performance with the chair is surreal - mesmerizing.  Like he's not of this earth.

  I saw him dance in the 80’s in London. His presence filled the theatre like magic.

  Had he been a blues singer there would be a legend he made a deal with the devil at a crossroads…so magnificent.
