They were an incredibly beautiful pair in life and sensitive, understanding partners - on stage. For the anniversary of the artist AIFRU.ru recalls the history of Love Ballerina and its rapid path to recognition.

Favorite

Little Natasha was born almost at the very beginning of the Great Patriotic War. Despite all the horrors of that time, the family managed to survive. The day of victory is immortal in full, met in Moscow: Mom and daughter came from evacuation, father from the front. Two years later, the spouses were born a second child - Tatiana. By decision of the mother, both girls entered the Moscow Choreographic School and became ballerinas. However, Natalia has achieved great success in this field than her sister.

The first teacher of the Immortal became St. Petersburg Maria Kozhukhova. Strict, disciplined, she still remembered the legendary Svetivseva. Natasha was her favorite. However, in 1959, at the 62nd year of life, Maria Alekseevna died, and the beginning of the dancer fell into a class to Sophier Nikolaevna Golovnoy. In the final exam, the student brilliantly fulfilled 48 Foute, and received a higher assessment by classic dance.

In the Big Theater Ballerina fell in 1961. For 27 years of stay on stage, she performed his entire repertoire. For a long time, the main partner of the actress was Mikhail Lavrovsky, the creative duet with which was still at study. Together with Lavrovsky, Immortalov began to master one of the most important roles in his life - Giselle. Initially, Galina Ulanova was helped to work on the way, which was considered the best performer of this party. But the student also argued with the teacher. Having learned about this, the chief balleraster of the Bolshoi - Leonid Lavrovsky, who adored Natasha, decided that he would do with her himself. November 20, 1963 "Giselle" performed by the young ballerina conquered the Moscow public. For his life, Natalia Igorevna danced this party almost 200 times, and she finished her brilliant career.

Muse

The new stage in the life of the ballerina began after her acquaintance with Yuri Grigorovich. Immortalova became not only the wife of the Chief Ballet Museum of the Bolshoi Theater, but also his muse. She, like no other, could embody all the ideas of Yuri Nikolayevich, be it Anastasia in Ivan Grozny, Shirin in the "Legend of Love", Valentina in the "Anhar", Rita in the "Golden Age" and others. At the same time, the choreographer himself loved To repeat that the ballets are not for his wife, but for an outstanding ballerina Immortal. He sincerely proud of his wife: her talent, mind and independence. However, even this did not prevent him from dismissing Natalia Igorevna in 1988 along with other outstanding dancers - Plisetskaya, Maximova, Vasilyev, Lavrovsky and Timofeeva. It was an incredible scandal. But the theater was required by young blood. By the way, the legendary May Mihailovna was 63 years old! Already then the atmosphere in the country's main theater for the ballerina and her spouse began to heat up.

After the dismissal Natalia Igorevna became a pedagogue-tutor to Gabt. Also, the actress of the Ozoovo took part in certain performances, went on tour. But the insane success, which at one time literally collapsed on Chet Grigorovich and Immortal, was replaced by the same crazy trail. On March 7, 1995, after a series of scandals and confrontations, the artistic director of the ballet troupe has a big written statement about the care. Natalia Igorevna personally took the paper to the Ministry of Culture. After just a few days, on March 12, the supporters of Grigorovich decided to declare a strike and not go to the scene. The organizer of the protest was named immortal, which served as a reason for her dismissal. However, learning about it, the ballerina decided not to give up without a fight. She appealed to the court, and he restored her rights. The document about this Natalia Igorevna brought to the theater. But not in order to return. Together with the Decree of the Court of Lesmortalova put on the table of leadership the departure. So the artist put a fat point in relations with a large theater, which in total lasted more than 30 years.

In the family

Despite a strong marriage, there were no children from the ballerina. Her "son" became a native nephew - Misha. He, Sister Tatiana and her husband - the only people who were immortal to hospital when they began to hurt much. For a long time, doctors could not put the artist diagnosis. From the kidney disease, the already pretty slender Natalia Igorevna, very much lost weight. And soon she began terrible pain.

According to recognition Vitaly Wolfawhich was well acquainted with the family of a ballerina, the pain was so shrill that a strong from nature is immortal began to want her own death. But in this terrible state, she did not stop thinking about her husband, living his affairs and care.

Natalia Igorevna's loved ones and herself understood that her days were considered. But when Grigorovich needed to go to Seoul, the spouse did not speak him from a business trip, on the contrary, he said that he should not forget about things. Unfortunately, it was the last time the choreographer saw her moise alive. Immortal became bad, almost immediately, after leaving the spouse. When Yuri Nikolaevich found out about it, he flew out the first flight. But it was too late. February 19, 2008 Artists did not.

Already after the funeral, on the glands of the ballerina, the General Director of the Bolshoi Theater Anatoly Iksanov I read the order, who returned Grigorovich to Gabt. He became a regular choreographer of ballet troupe. This event, for sure, I would very pleased with Natalia Igorevna. She always took all the takeoff and falls of her spouse to the heart. Yuri Nikolaevich himself did not respond to his appointment on that day, because he lost the only and beloved woman, for whom he worked not one ten years.

Moscow, January 2. / Corr. TASS Olga Svistunova. Russian choreographer, People's Artist of the USSR, Yury Grigorovich on Monday marks 90 years. Master to celebrate such a solid date Master will be at the State Academic Bolshoi Theater of Russia (Gabt).

"We are waiting for Yuri Nikolayevich Grigorovich in the Bolshoi Theater, where the" Nutcracker "ballet will be shown in its production, after the end of which we congratulate you on the anniversary of the ingenious master," said TASS General Director Gabt Vladimir Urin.

For its part, the birthday name confirmed TASS an indispensable presence. "Of course, I will," Grigorovich said, at the same time placing that "the month was lying with the inflammation of the lungs." "I was so cold in Seoul, and then a nine o'clock flew in an airplane, where I blossomed everywhere. So I snatched, I came to myself for a very long time," Yuri Nikolaevich shared.

From Seoul to Antwerp

In Seoul, Grigorovich restored the ballet "Spartak". In general, in the predominium year, he had a lot to travel. In the summer he flew to Sochi to the international competition "Young ballet of the world", the founder and artistic director of which he is. The review passed on the sixth time.

Then he went to Ufa - put the ballet "Legend of Love" in the Bashkir Opera and Ballet Theater. More recently, in early December, Grigorovich produced the premiere in the Mariinsky Theater. "Made a new stage of the" stone flower "60 years after the world premiere," said the choreographer.

The next point became Munich, "" Spartak, "said Bavarian State Opera, told the balletmaster." The premiere was held with his grandiose success, "the German media wrote. "Grigorovich went to bows six times, and the audience standing applauded for 20 minutes."

To this list, you need to add two more performances, over which Grigorovich worked in the Bolshoi Theater. "At first, on the new stage, the ballet" Golden Age "was restored, and then he worked on the transfer of his editorial board" Raymond "on the historical scene," the choreographer listed.

In his closest plans - a business trip to Belgium. "I will put" Spartak "in Antwerp, you have to go at the end of January," Yuri Nikolaevich said.

"Do not lose interest in life and profession"

At 90, the Master continues to be active, cooperating with many theaters of the world. "All in the genes from Mom and Pope," said Grigorovich's secret of his creative longevity.

"I come from Leningrad, from a ballet family - Mom studied there, in the choreographic school on the street Rossi, by the way, in the same class with the Great Ballerina Marina Semenova. But early married, I got married, and I got married, and she left the profession. And her Brother, Georgy Rosay, was a famous artist of the imperial scene, then a member of the Dyagilev's entrepreneurs "Russian seasons". So the ballet genes had their influence - both on the way of life, and internal discipline, "said Grigorovich.

"And dad, Nikolai Evgenievich, was not a man of ballet and theater, but, as I remember, I knew about me better myself," Yuri Nikolayevich continued. - He very early saw such features of the character from which I wanted to fly, hung. Even over my bed, an extract from wise instructions about humble anger, hotmeastness, pride, so that I pay attention to it. I did not always follow this wisdom - sometimes I could not restrain myself. One soothes me: my incontinence has never been directed against a person, I broke out exclusively on professional issues. "

The creative biography of the balletmaster began 70 years ago, when a graduate of the Leningrad Choreographic School of Jura Grigorovich was adopted in the Toroupe of the Mariinsky (then Kirovsky) Theater of the Ballet Artist. There he was pretty 18 years old and operated in parallel as a choreographer. His first stage, the trichat children's performance "Aistenok", Grigorovich presented on the stage of the Gorky Culture Palace in Leningrad, when he was 20 years old.

Since then, Grigorovich has created 16 original ballets. Among them, such generally accepted masterpieces as "stone flower", "Legend of Love", "Spartak", "Ivan Grozny", "Golden Age" and others. For more than 30 years, Grigorovich led the ballet body of the Bolshoi Theater. I put the performances on the scenes of the leading theaters of Russia, Europe, Asia and continues to do it to this day.

"Age, of course, will not go anywhere, will not deny," Grigorovich confesses. "My grandfather, he was Italian, joked:" Everyone will die, and I may be. "It is important not to lose interest in life and profession, do not sit at home. , but constantly in the case. After all, the fact that I was postponed indefinitely, never implemented. "

Home Value - People

Grigorovich speaks with admiration about the outstanding personalities, with which his fate was reduced. "Dmitry Shostakovich, Aram Khachaturian, Mark Chagal, Simon Virsaladze, Fyodor Lopukhov, Galina Ulanova, Grigory Kozintsev, Valery Dorr, Valentina Khodasevich, Leonard Bernstein, Sol Yurok, Bronislav Nizhinskaya, Serge Lifar, Leonid Mysin," Lisens Yuri Nikolaevich. "Meetings with bright people - this is what remains forever," he admits.

And again switches to the ballet theme. "In the Bolshoi Troupe theater, he was always at height," says Grigorovich. "I remember her since the late 1950s, when I first came from Leningrad to put a" stone flower ", and soon" legend about love "and" sleeping beauty " . And then all the years of my work, the main balletmaster of the big I sought to maintain this value, the troupe of great, and attract here those who could decorate it with individual features. "

The legendary "sixties" calls Grigorovich Plisetsk, Strochkov, Kondratyev, Timofeev, Maksimov and Vasilyeva, Immortalov and Lavrovsky, Adyirkhaev and Liepu, Vladimirov and Sorokin. "Following them there was a new generation of artists - Nadezhda Pavlova, Nina Semizorov, Tatiana Golikova, Maria Wersova, Vyacheslav Gordeyev, Alexander Godunov, Alexander Bogatyrev, Irek Muhamedov, Yuri Vasyuchenko, Alexander Vetrov," the choreographer continues.

"They were followed by the following and the following, for the disclosure of the skill of which the repertoire was needed, new productions, we were doing all the years. With me, in the Bolshoi Theater also put your ballets over 30 choreographers - our foreigners," said Grigorovich.

"Era Grigorovich"

And what was done, it turned out so much that the exhibition to the 90th anniversary of the choreographer, which opened in the main building of the theater museum. A. A. Bakhrushina, called "Era Grigorovich". She included materials from the funds of the Bahrushinsky collection, the Bolshoi and Mariinsky Theaters, the St. Petersburg Museum of Theater and Music Arts and the Personal Assembly of Yuri Grigorovich.

A separate section of the exposure is devoted to a long-term co-author of Grigorovich's ballets, a wonderful theater artist Simon Virusladze (1908-1989).

Birzaladze called "the artist dresses the dance." The exposition presents its picturesque sketches of scenery and costumes to the ballet masses Grigorovich.

Another section of the exhibition is devoted to Natalia Immortal, wife and Muse, Yuri Grigorovich, unfortunately, who has left lives in 2008. Grigorovich loved to repeat that he had performances not for his wife, but for an outstanding ballerina Immortal.
