Russian prima ballerina Natalia Bessmertnova died · 2008-02-20 19:24
Russian prima ballerina Natalia Bessmertnova has died after a long illness at the age of 66, the Bolshoi Theatre announced in Moscow.
Bessmertnova became a Bolshoi star in the Soviet period in 1961, marrying artistic director, Yuri Grigorovich, and later teaching in retirement, BBC reports.
Her husband gave her lead roles in his own productions, such as Spartacus.
She won many Soviet prizes for her dancing, and is especially remembered for the part of Giselle.
Bessmertnova died at a Moscow hospital after suffering from an unspecified grave illness, Bolshoi spokeswoman Yekaterina Novikova said.
Bolshoi director Anatoly Iksanov reacted by calling her death a “huge loss for the Bolshoi Theatre and for our whole culture.”
She had been “the pride and glory of the company to which she devoted her entire life”, he added.
