The Magic of Nureyev

An incredible 89 curtain calls provide an enduring testament to the ballet history that was written at the Vienna State Opera on October 15, 1964. The event was a performance of Swan Lake choreographed by Russian dancer Rudolf Nureyev, who also took on the lead male role of the Prince; his partner was the great British prima ballerina Margot Fonteyn. In his novel interpretation of this iconic favorite of classical ballet, Nureyev revolutionized the role of the male dancer, seeking to be Fonteyn's equal counterpart. This fascinating behind the scenes film features extensive excerpts from the legendary production, which was captured for posterity two years after its 1964 stage premiere. In new interviews, dancers Michael Birkmeyer and Gisela Cech, who danced alongside Nureyev at the premiere of Swan Lake, share personal insights on Nureyev's peerless virtuosity as well as his mercurial off-stage personality, while contemporary experts look back at Nureyev groundbreaking technique from a modern-day perspective.

Romeo & Juliet NEW

Directed by the Public Theater's Associate Artistic Director and Resident Director Saheem Ali, the Public's new Free Shakespeare in the Park production of Shakespeare's enduring classic Romeo and Juliet will mark the first time in nearly 20 years that the iconic star-crossed lovers will captivate Free Shakespeare in the Park audiences. Never was there a story of more woe, or more romance, than the Bard's timeless tale of two young lovers from warring families. As the Montagues and Capulets are torn apart by ideology and simmering violence spills into the streets of the border town of Verona, Romeo and Juliet dare to defy a world determined to keep them apart. In this bold new staging, the play unfolds in English, but Romeo and Juliet speak to one another in Spanish, a language reserved only for their shared world. Featuring Ra'Mya Latiah Aikens and Daniel Bravo Hernndez in the title roles, also featured are Caleb Joshua Eberhardt (Mercutio), Glenn Fleshler (Lord Capulet), Francis Jue (Friar Laurence), Ariyan Kassam (Tybalt), LaChanze (Lady Capulet), Martin K. Lewis (Paris), Zack Lopez Roa (Benvolio), Deirdre O'Connell (Nurse), Jason Manuel Olazbal (Lord Montague), Jessica Pimentel (Escalus), and Mariand Torres (Lady Montague).
