In Tatarstan, there is an intention to shoot a series about Rudolf Nureyev

Premier of TGAAT Opera and Ballet named after Musa Jalil Oleg Ivenko intends to make a series about the great dancer Rudolf Nureyev. He presented the details in an interview with the publication “Billion.Tatar”.

The dancer who played Nureyev in the 2018 film The White Raven (directed by Rafe Fiennes) has expressed his intention to reprise this role and is looking for good producers and directors. Ivenko thinks he should do it while he's still dancing while he's still in shape.

According to him, we are talking about the series in 6-7 episodes, dedicated to the peak of Nureyev’s career, his relationship with the great ballerina Margot Fontaine and Eric Bruno.

He discussed the idea with Fiennes, who found the idea interesting, warning about finding investors, as the project budget is 5-7 million dollars. He has not yet given final consent.

I will not dance in seven or eight years: it is age, old age, age. It is necessary to do now, while there is a peak jump, rotation, charisma, serving, explained Oleg Ivenko.
